Extreme cold temperatures can cause water main breaks and electric outages. While prolonged power and other service outages are rare here, it's still important to be prepared. A few reminders:

The CSPM is honored to be recognized as “Best Museum” in the @csindynews 2023 Best of the Springs! A HUGE thank you to everyone who cast their votes – we are so proud to collect, preserve, and share the rich history of our community with over 100,000 visitors annually.

When the EPA last conducted nationwide testing about a decade ago, it detected the chemical TCP in the water of 6 million people.

The EPA has labeled TCP a likely carcinogen, but hasn't set safety limits on TCP in drinking water. https://t.co/LbirnYwKec

It has been one year since tragedy struck Club Q, and our hearts are still heavy. As we reflect and grieve, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our LGBTQ+ community, with all the survivors, and with the family members of the five people who lost their lives that night.

In honor of Daylight Saving Time ending, we decided to save time by letting Ai write this post. 😂 Adjust your clock back one hour before going to sleep tonight. Enjoy an extra hour of sleep or stay up late to enjoy the night's enchantment. The choice is yours.
