Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Manitou Springs Author

MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. - Dec. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Manitou Springs was founded in 1871 as a picturesque health resort nestled at the foot of Pikes Peak. The town grew as a tourist destination and adapted to the needs of thousands of visitors. Today, Manitou Springs is an eclectic mix of bedroom community and travelers’ retreat, and examples from many architectural eras coexist in its scenic mountain valley.

Comparing our present to our past is how we understand our history. Arcadia’s Then & Now series makes such local comparisons available. Books in this series offer a special view of American life by placing historical images side by side with contemporary photographs.

Highlights of Manitou Springs include:

Rocky Mountain Resort
Things to Do in Manitou
Home Away from Home
Life among the Tourists
Mid-Century Modern Tourism
