Colorado Experience: Press of the West 

My great, great Uncle, Egon Huber, was a typesetter and managed a shop in Manitou Springs called Out West Printing. He later founded the Manitou Springs Journal which later became the Pike's Peak Journal. The Penrose Library in Colorado Springs sent me a picture of the print shop with Uncle Egon and all the typesetters stopping work long enough to pose for the picture. So this story was close to my heart. Thank you.

This is an important topic! Kudos to the folks who restored the downtown and kudos to the folks who produced this amazing little documentary. Stories like this will be at the core of how future generations understand how important the small-town newspaper was to the vitality and success of the town. A fair and balanced small town newspaper in every small town and you have a thriving region. This was a great history lesson including the beginnings of a new foundation of cultural arts in this darling Colorado town.

I am so pleased I watched this... I am thrilled to know the building was donated.. the history behind this little town makes my heart feel very happy...!! I would love to hear the press run, the chatter of the people coming from the walls, returning from the mouths of visitors and students and users.. Thank you, Rocky Mountain PBS, for airing this !!! God bless you all!!

If technology ever fails, we'll need more of those.

Very nice story, thank you for sharing! It's great to see the restoration of the building and especially the printing press.

Wow 😯!
