Colorado Experience: Glen Eyrie Castle
2019, Rocky Mountain PBS
Amidst the conquest and settlement of the American West, General William Jackson Palmer, a Railroad tycoon and the founding member of the Colorado Springs colony, built a sprawling, Tudor-style mansion nestled into the same rugged terrain as Garden of the Gods. An innovator at heart, Palmer's "castle" features a wealth of technologies and turn-of-the-century historical and architectural features. Plus, a new archeological dig at Palmer's trash site nearby reveals even more about his lifestyle.
This documentary was created for Rocky Mountain PBS with financial support from History Colorado and the State Historic Fund.
