Miramont Castle Museum

Featured Exhibits

Miramont Castle displays the local history throughout the castle. Such features include, the Manitou Springs Volunteer Fire Department where you can see historical pieces dating back to the 1880s, the Nurnberg Exhibit showing photos of that historical trial as well as Judge Young's books and desk. We have the Spoils of War room where you can see many pictures and items from that area. There are other rotating exhibits to be seen. Come visit us often.

Manitou Springs Volunteer Fire Department

Memorial Weekend 2010 marked the grand opening of a museum-within-a-museum, featuring antique and vintage fire department equipment from around the Pikes Peak region.  Its hallmark is an antique hose cart, the oldest piece of fire apparatus registered with the Colorado State Firefighters Association, owned by the MSVFD since 1880.  Fascinating authentic memorabilia and photographs of a bygone era surround it.  Admission to the Fire Department Museum is included in admission to the Castle.

Nurnberg Exhibit

The latest exhibit in Miramont Castle is the Nurnburg High Command Trial and Judge John C. Young’s office display. John C. Young was a lawyer in Colorado Springs who was elected to the Colorado State Supreme Court. Judge Young became the Chief Justice of the State Supreme and was hand selected to preside over the twelfth and final Nurnberg Trial. The pictures that you will see in this exhibit are the photos that the Judge brought back with him which shows the entire court room, participants and captures the intensity of the trials.

Opening these rooms will be the last part of the Castle that will be opened to the public. There are only a few rooms now that are not accessible and most of them are closets and storage.

Spoils of War

From the War Between the States to the current wars, this poignant display gives insight into the tragedy, the pain, and the occasional humor of the heroic men and women who continually fight for the freedom we dare not take for granted. See authentic uniforms, grim souvenirs, chilling photographs, and the human side of battle
