Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum
Housed in the landmark 1903 El Paso County Courthouse, one of the defining structures downtown, the Pioneers Museum tells the intriguing history of the area, beginning as a gold-mining camp, then attracting tuberculosis patients seeking a cure, to its more recent military boom. The exhibits include the late-1800s home of Helen Hunt Jackson, the famed local author of “Ramona.” Those particularly interested in history can spend a couple of hours here, but for most an hour will do.
