About the Palmer Lake Historical Society

Mission: The mission of the Palmer Lake Historical Society (PLHS) is to preserve, protect, promote, and provide access to historical data, artifacts and other items of significance relating to the Palmer Divide area and make resources available to the public primarily through the Lucretia Vaile Museum and annual programming.

Goals: The primary goals and objectives of the Palmer Lake Historical Society are to assemble, preserve, display (as feasible), and interpret historical objects and printed material pertaining to the Palmer Divide area that includes Palmer Lake, Monument, School District 38, the United States Air Force Academy, and as far east as Table Rock.

Please consider joining the Palmer Lake Historical Society. Various levels of participation available including family and senior memberships. All ages welcome. Newcomers to the area are welcome!

The Background of the Palmer Lake Historical Society

In 1956, a group of residents recommended that a manuscript detailing the founding of Monument, Palmer Lake and the surrounding Palmer Divide region be published. To accomplish this, they also recommended that a historical society be formed to continue the preservation of the area's history. 

At the Lucretia Vaile Museum in Palmer Lake, CO you will find exhibits showcasing the Palmer Divide history. The Palmer Lake Historical Society is a 501 (C)(3) educational non-profit organization. All staff and board members are volunteers serving the community, sharing history and stories of the past.
