Symposium Film Festival
Presented by Pikes Peak Library District at PPLD: East Library Colorado Springs, CO
The 2026 Pikes Peak Regional History Symposium celebrates the 150th anniversary of Colorado statehood with a two-part event featuring a day of films and a day of lectures from students, filmmakers, and leading scholars, each revealing how the Pikes Peak Region has shaped the course of Colorado history. A powerful reexamination of William Jackson Palmer looks beyond the familiar story to uncover his broader impact on Colorado and beyond. A fresh look at the Cripple Creek miners’ strike captures a turning point that reshaped labor in the state. The political battles behind Amendments 1 and 2 in 1992 reveal how Colorado Springs helped drive changes that still define Colorado politics today. New perspectives on Zebulon Pike challenge what we think we know about his expedition. The fight for water in Colorado Springs takes center stage as a defining struggle that helped set lasting precedents across the state. At Evergreen Cemetery, overlooked figures emerge whose lives left a lasting mark on Colorado’s early history. And in the story of Margaret Reid and the Pikes Peak Library District, a local vision becomes a model that reshaped library service across Colorado. The program also features student films, including award-winning documentaries from the 2026 History Day competition, alongside original work from filmmakers exploring the region’s past in new ways. This two-part event takes on some of the biggest questions in Colorado history and shows how those answers were shaped right here in the Pikes Peak Region. This calendar listing is brought to you…

Mark Hanson: Taryall Gold Rush
Presented by Western Museum of Mining and Industry at Western Museum of Mining and Industry Colorado Springs, CO
In the shadow of the Continental Divide and hidden from the public eye for decades, Tarryall Valley showcases Colorado’s first stampede from her front range during the gold rush of 1859. Exhibiting a lush time capsule of that lucrative gold strike, the valley has over the past ten years been the focus of Mark Hanson’s camera and historical research. His field exploration covers a tight peak-to-valley grid, encompassing the mining district’s 18 square miles from Como, Colorado to the Continental Divide and Boreas Pass. Mark documents a century-long quest for Tarryall’s elusive mother lode and the rich golden bounty found amongst her glacially-bulldozed placers. Here are sheltered more than 150 teetering cabins, over 850 prospect pits and mines, 20 miles of flumes and ditches, five remaining mill sites, bygone blacksmith shops, and the hopes and dreams of thousands of prospectors. Tarryall held the finest gold in the state, and in today’s dollars, well over $300,000,000 was doggedly harvested across a span of 120 years. Through the eyes of a present-day resident and claim-holding geologist, peer into the pans of early prospectors and open anxious telegrams from international financiers. Meet five miners whose detailed biographies illustrate a diverse parade of explorers from gold farmers to silver magnates. From German immigrants, to Civil War veterans, to the money launderers of Tammany Hall, these characters typify many of the nation’s 19th century gold rushes. Published early in 2025, “Tarryall Gold” represents a microcosm of hundreds of valleys across the west. Exhibiting over 220…
