COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum (CSPM) is celebrating Black History Month with a series of galleries.
This month, the CSPM invites the public to experience special guided tours, public programs, and more.

During this special month, we are looking forward to sharing with the community more stories and providing opportunities for them to delve deeper,” said Leah Davis Witherow, CSPM Curator of History
The CSPM is featuring the stories Any Place That is North and West, The Story of Us, and COS@150 in its permanent galleries.
