Search for Historic Homes in Colorado Springs
By 1901, with the population of Colorado Springs about 25,000, General Palmer was ready to take it easy as he entered his later years in life.
After the death of Queen Palmer, in late 1894, the General had left for England to take care of her estate and bury her there. He returned in the summer of 1895 with his three daughters. He knew nothing about raising girls, but he soon learned. Within a year, he was giving lawn parties and showing off his incredible possessions that he’d collected over the years. He was learning to be a social person and the town responded by inviting him to their affairs as well. He even donated the land for Memorial Pottery business (owned by Van Briggle’s wife Anne) which opened in 1907, and is today owned by Colorado College.
