DONOR SPOTLIGHT Clock Tower Society Barbara Bates Our Clock Tower Society represents a group of individuals who are passionate about local history and envision a future for the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. We asked Barbara Bates to share her story about her passion for the CSPM. Why do you feel the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is important to support? “I believe in supporting local organizations so I can see the difference they make in our community. The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum preserves our community’s history. Colorado Springs has such a unique story, and I believe it is an important one to tell. Otherwise, how do we know as a community where we are going unless we know where we came from.” What are some of your favorite exhibits and/or artifacts in the CSPM? “It is hard for me to pick because I have many favorites. I love the Katherine Lee Bates Sculpture outside of the Museum, because of the name, of course! One of my favorite exhibits is the Helen Hunt Jackson House. It is neat that it is a part of her actual house inside the Museum.” Thank you Barbara for your passion and commitment to the CSPM! Interested in joining the Clock Tower Society?

Reed constructed romantic scenes that situated American Indians in an imagined past versus contemporary reality. The exhibit encourages visitors to examine the role “retrospective photography” plays in shaping our understanding of American Indians. CSPM is honored to work with Gregg Deal, Pyramid Lake Paiute, an extraordinary artist whose work challenges misconceptions of indigenous people and asks viewers to reexamine stereotypes.
