This year, the city invites visitors to explore its history, and it has jumped on the opportunity to polish up one of its gems. The new Pikes Peak Summit Complex will provide a modernized experience for firsttimers and veterans alike when summiting the beautiful fourteener that shadows the historic town. The Pioneers Museum is offering exhibits that are informative, interactive and interesting to all ages. And speaking of history, one of the city’s historic firehouses was converted into a taphouse that has escalated the scene. Read on ... and stay tuned for the next 150 years.
