February is Black History Month and the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum (CSPM) is proud to highlight the rich and complex Black History of the Pikes Peak region this month and throughout the year.
“We invite everyone to explore Black history at the CSPM all year through our exhibits, programs and virtual galleries,” said Leah Davis Witherow, CSPM Curator of History. “During this special month, we look forward to sharing more stories with the community and providing opportunities for them to delve deeper into Black History in Colorado Springs.”
The CSPM features stories in our permanent galleries: The Story of Us, COS@150, 50% of the Story: Women Expressing Creativity, and online through our innovative Story of Us Mobile website that documents how African Americans have continued to shape the Pikes Peak region socially, politically, intellectually, culturally, and economically.
For Black History Month 2026, the public is invited to engage with these community stories through exhibits, special guided tours, public programs, and social media.

And in preparation for the new exhibit, we are closing Any Place That is North And West on January 3, 2026 after over a decade of public viewing. Read more about the project HERE.
