The Pikes Peak Historical Society is a non-profit corporation organized under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3). The purpose of the Society is to encourage the preservation of the history of Florissant and the west slope of Pikes Peak, and to educate the public regarding this historical legacy.

The Pikes Peak Historical Society (PPHS) is funded solely through memberships and donations, and supports its mission through volunteers who serve on its numerous committees.

PPHS owns and operates two museums; The Pikes Peak Historical Society Museum, at 18033 Teller County Road #1 across from the Florissant Post Office, and the Schoolhouse Museum located at Teller County Road #31 and Wildhorn.

Our Cemetery Committee manages the historic Florissant Cemetery on behalf of Teller County. Our Beautification Committee sponsors an area-wide clean-up each spring, cleans along Highway 24, and plants flowers throughout the town of Florissant. Our Chautauqua Committee sponsors free educational programs each month, and our Parks and Trails Committees support these efforts in the area.

The volunteers and members of the Pikes Peak Historical Society make all of these community projects possible. Your membership entitles you to our tri-annual newsletter. Life Members receive a ten percent discount on all items at the Museum gift shop. To join the Pikes Peak Historical Society just click HERE....
