Palmer Lake Historical Society Presents: Patric Ryan on “Why Nikola Tesla Chose Colorado Springs”

Why Did Nikola Tesla Chose Colorado Springs?

Please join us to hear Patric Ryan who will share why Nikola Tesla chose Colorado Springs, CO for his Experimental Station. Built in 1899 by the inventor for his study of the use of high-voltage, high-frequency electricity in wireless power transmission.

The Experimental Station was located on empty land on the highest local point (Knob Hill)between the 1876 Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind and the Union Printers Home,  where Tesla conducted the research described in the Colorado Springs Notes 1899-1900.

Patric is a historian and author of the play and book series, Mark Twain and the War of Wizards. Written about Nikola Tesla's rivalry with Thomas Edison and narrated by Mark Twain.

We hope you can join us for this special event. Please bring a friend or two and stay after the program for light refreshments and socializing.
