Really fun, free museum. Definite must whether you are a history buff or a motor head. Note: they will validate parking for the Broadmoor underground garage!

What a little gem in a nice area, and I think it's the only place like it in town with all the Peak racing, and more carriages then I've seen in one place. The best part was having a great guide, Jason, he made getting information fun for the kids too. Bring your quarters and pennies for the penny press. They do validate if you've parked in the garage. A must see for learning more about Colorado Springs!
