Pike's Peak Heritage Museum 05/08 |
While visiting in Colorado to see
Maya and Lexi's spring program at school, we took a trip to Cripple
Creek and went to the Pike's Peak Heritage Museum. The main floor is
dedicated to gold mining, the original reason that Cripple Creek is
in existence. There is still mining going on big time in the area. The
third floor houses a display of animals found in the area. In the basement
you can watch a movie about the history of the area. Click on any of
the thumbs to view larger pictures.
