We also sponsor several well-known historical events that directly promote the City of Cripple Creek such as History Comes Alive! (Saturdays at noon from Memorial Day through Labor Day), Ambiance on the Red Trolley (Free historical tours on the Red Trolley, Saturdays at 1:00 pm from Memorial Day through Labor Day), Mt Pisgah Speaks (Annually, the second weekend in September), Fall Festival Historical Tours of Cripple Creek (Annually in October on Saturday at the Cripple Creek Fall Festival).

Our members can be seen frequently around town as townsfolk dressed in Victorian attire and our beautiful parade float can be seen in our local parades as well.
