City of Colorado Springs / Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum
Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum
The Museum is open for 2010!
To clear up confusion about the Museum's status, we are open to the public this year. In December, City Council restored $365,000 of funding for the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. With the use of $300,000 of private funds that the Museum has acquired over the years, we will be able to remain open to the public Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm. We appreciate your concern and hope that you will visit us soon.
To celebrate our being open this year, we present:

The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum holds many artifacts that tell us about our history. The 19th Century hair wreaths in the Museum's collection provide a "window into the past." This collection was recently featured on KRCC's The Big Something. In the audio portion of the article, Museum Registrar David Ryan talks about the hair wreaths at the Museum.
