• More Than Just a Number-- Celebrating our Volunteers April is one of our favorite months of the year! We participate in National Volunteer Week (April 20-26) and have the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the thousands of hours our volunteers dedicate to the museum - that's 3,573 hours in 2024 to be exact! And that's 99 volunteers working in over 10 different roles. Join us in celebrating our volunteers! Welcome Aaron Watkins to the CSPM! Join us in welcoming Aaron Watkins as the new Museum Customer Specialist to the CSPM! Aaron will be working alongside Casey Kaza to ensure our visitors have a welcoming and safe experience. Welcome Aaron Watkins to the CSPM! Harry Gautsche Memorial The CSPM staff was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Harry Gautsche on March 30, 2025. Harry was a loyal and passionate volunteer for the CSPM for many decades. He, along with his late wife, Marcia, were always among the first to raise their hands and ask how they could help the museum.  Read Harry's Contributions to the CSPM CSPM Happenings: City Council Swearing In On Tuesday, April 15, the CSPM was honored to host the swearing-in ceremony of the new and returning At-Large Colorado Springs City Council members on the museum grounds.
