Hour-long guided tours introduce the historic landmarks, contemporary artwork, and cultural highlights of Downtown. Tours are held the first Saturday of each month, and depart at 10 a.m. from the Wild Goose Meeting House (401 N Tejon St).

This month’s topic: By 1900, over 20,000 health-seekers emigrated to Colorado Springs searching for a cure for tuberculosis. Through the streets of Downtown Colorado Springs, discover the history of our region’s greatest asset-turned-industry – stunning scenery, abundant sunshine and mild climate. Visit the locations of notorious TB treatment centers and explore the economic and social  impact of the “white plague” on The City of Sunshine.

Participants are encouraged to arrive at 9:30 a.m. to enjoy a free coffee beverage of their choice (included in ticket price). Tours begins promptly at 10 a.m.
