Welcome to Stories from the Midland

Become closer to our Colorado home through understanding our past

Against the backdrop of Pikes Peak, multimedia expert and historian Tommy Allen brings you Stories from the Midland.

Teller County and its surrounding areas are rich with history that dates back to before our records with the area’s Native Americans, onto 1806 with Zebulon Pike, and late into the 1800s and beyond with the establishment of the Gold Camp. But Colorado has so many more stories to tell. Think of Stories from the Midland as a Cabinet of Curiosities in which those stories are gathered and shared. So reach into our display cabinets and shelves and pick these stories up in your mind. Examine them from every angle. Share them, learn from them, have fun with them, and let them enrich your lives.

And in doing so, become closer to the Colorado we all love.


The secret of my vigor and activity is that I have managed to have a lot of fun.
