The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is entering an exciting new chapter, and we are pleased to share important updates regarding our Board of Directors.
Lynn Peterson
We extend our sincere gratitude to Lynn Peterson who term has come to a closed. Lynn brought her knowledge of education and passion for sharing Colorado Springs’ history to the CSPM Board and Exhibits and Programs committee. Her leadership, dedication, and service was instrumental in moving forward the Museum’s HVAC and Building Restoration Project, Grand Reopening, and envisioning the Museum’s future. In addition to her board and committee service, Lynn also supported youth and family programs such as the Festival of Lights Family Fun Day. Although she is stepping down from the board, she will continue to serve on the Exhibits and Programs Committee as a member.
