The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is located at 215 S. Tejon Street in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The granite building with a domed clock tower was the El Paso County Courthouse building from 1903 to 1973. The museum, which moved to this location in 1979, has fine arts, artifacts and archival collections that document[1][3] the Pikes Peak region.[4] The building is on the National Register of Historic Places, and was the 2nd property to be listed in El Paso County, after Pikes Peak.[5]
Located within Alamo Square Park the museum is also home to the Starsmore Center for Local History, a manuscript collection and research facility.[6][non-primary source needed]
