Evergreen Heritage 2021 Calendar!

On July 31st  1871, Fountain Colony was established as the founding fathers drove the stake at what is today the intersection of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues. 

Evergreen Heritage joins the city of Colorado Springs in a yearlong celebration of our city’s sesquicentennial in 2021.

To commemorate this auspicious occasion, Evergreen Heritage presents the 2021 Sesquicentennial Calendar.

 Due to covid restrictions, our  2020  fund-raising events were cancelled.  The money needed for restoration projects comes through fund-raising events or from supporting members. We are not funded by the city of Colorado Springs. We are a separate 501c3 nonprofit entity.

We celebrate the pioneers who arrived 150 years ago to create a new home and the amazing community we live in today.

Help us keep history alive by purchasing our 2021 Evergreen Heritage Sesquicentennial Calendar.

ORDERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY DECEMBER 7TH TO ENSURE ARRIVAL BY JANUARY 2021
