Itinerary
1
The Antlers, A Wyndham Hotel
Not one, but 3 unique stories lay behind this amazing hotel dating back to the 1800's- grandeur, destruction, restoration... such a tale to tell.
10 minutes
2
Acacia Park
What was once a desolate plot of land is now a bustling center piece and a community gathering place. Learn its history... from Victorian era shuffle board to WWII horse shoe pits to modern day political rallies... Acacia Park has seen it all and will do so for many years to come.
10 minutes
3
Mansion
The Original Opera House (now defunct) was a gathering place of the Victorian Elite. Their opening night production was filled with trouble- continual coughing from the audience and an ending that left patrons disturbed. Find out why...
10 minutes
4
102 E Pikes Peak Ave
As the brand new city of Colorado Springs was developing, "Busy Corner" became the place to meet up and do business. The upper class came in their Victorian dresses, cameo pins and Bowler hats; farmers showed up in mismatched boots and suspenders. Either way, Busy Corner was the place to do business, shop, gossip and hang around.
10 minutes
5
Jack Quinn's Irish Pub and Restaurant
As one of the oldest buildings in Colorado Springs, the charm & character of this unique eatery can't be beat- its original decorative tin ceiling & creaky wood floor adds to its turn of the century vibe.
This is the last stop on our tour. I release you into the quality care of the Jack Quinn staff along with a $5 gift card (good for soda, libations, dessert, etc.) and a free appetizer for your party. Cool off, refresh, grab a meal and enjoy this amazing atmosphere.
