HOME

The Ute Pass Historical Society is a volunteer run, non-profit organization that actively preserves and shares the history of Ute Pass. Ute Pass is located along U.S Highway 24 west of Colorado Springs, Colorado, on the north slope of Pikes Peak. It includes the communities of Cascade, Chipita Park, Green Mountain Falls, Crystola, Woodland Park and Divide. We invite you to join us by becoming a patron or volunteer.

Our services include our museum, gift shop, educational programs, photo collection and archives, and traveling photo exhibit:

The Pikes Peak Museum is the umbrella name we use to describe the collection of small museums run by UPHS. These include Ute Pass History Park and the UPHS Gift Shop & Ute Museum. In our museums you can learn about the Ute People, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and the Colorado Midland Railway, and many other stories from the history of Ute Pass. We welcome guests and would be happy to give you a tour.

The UPHS Gift Shop offers a wide selection of books on Colorado and Western history as well as unique gifts. Reprints of historic photos from our large collection of images of Teller County and the Pikes Peak region are available for purchase. Our collections of archival documents and photographs are available to the public for historical research. You may visit us in person to conduct your own research, or one of our volunteers can help look for answers to your history questions.

The travelling photo exhibit is a collection of framed images of our local history that is available to local business and organizations for public display. Contact us if you would like to host this exhibit.

The Ute Pass Historical Society also hosts educational programs to share Colorado history. If you would like to attend or present a program please let us know.
