Then & Now exhibit showcases Colorado Springs’ history
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) On Thursday night, a new exhibit will open showing how Colorado Springs has grown in its 150-year history.
The Then & Now Exhibit features fifty historic images and modern photos as part of the City of Colorado Springs Sesquicentennial Celebration.
For two years, local photographer Mike Pach has worked to recreated historic images from the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, Pikes Peak Library District, and other archives to illustrate how things have changed, and how they have stayed the same. I discovered that the pictures I liked the most were ones that included people because I wanted to know who they were and what their stories were. A lot of those I looked for to pair with people I knew of that were doing really cool things in Colorado Springs, said Pach.
