About Pikes Peak Historical Society

The Pikes Peak Historical Society is a nonprofit group that works to keep the history of Florissant and the western slope of Pikes Peak alive and to teach the public about it. It runs two museums, the Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum on Teller County Road #1 and the Schoolhouse Museum near Teller County Road #31 and Wildhorn Road. Volunteers staff the museums and also serve on committees that look after the Florissant Pioneer Cemetery and host free educational programs called Chautauquas. The society is supported only by memberships and donations.
