Pikes Peak Museum
The Pikes Peak Museum, operated by the Ute Pass
Historical Society, is a collection of historic buildings and displays
located throughout the area. Each site has a theme and exhibits.
Many of our offerings are located in Ute
Pass History
Park, found within the 200 E. Midland Avenue
block in Woodland Park, Colorado.
The balance of UPHS exhibits are at selected sites in the Ute Pass
and within the Pikes Peak Region of Colorado.
We encourage local institutions and business entities to partner with
UPHS for historic preservation and the educational opportunities which remote
displays provide to our community, residents and visitors alike.
Take a walk back in time, and
experience the UPHS exhibits displayed in three historical buildings at Ute Pass
History Park.
The Immer Cabin was recently restored, and includes displays of the Ute Pass
communities' schools, churches, hotels and dude ranches. The Brockhurst
Cabin, which hosted the original UPHS museum during the 1970's in Green Mountain Falls,
depicts the lifestyle of early pioneers in a one-room log cabin home.
The Carroll Den houses a growing exhibit of Colorado Midland Railroad
artifacts. See our NEWS & EVENTS webpage or contact us for
tour information: We look forward
to scheduling a Docent-led tour for your family or group.
