The Penrose Heritage Museum, previously called Carriage Museum, was established in 1941 by Julie Penrose, widow of Spencer Penrose, the builder of The Broadmoor, to hold the collection of carriages the Penrose’s collected during their lifetime. The collection contains 31 horse-drawn carriages plus 13 motorized vehicles, among them are three 1920s Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb race cars, Mrs. Penrose's Cadillac limousine from 1928, and a beautifully restored 1906 Renault.

The museum also features two presidential carriages: An 1841 Williamsburg Brougham that drove the ninth President of the United States William Henry Harrison to his inauguration ceremony and the 21st President Chester A. Arthur’s 1862 C-Spring Victoria. The museum is managed by the El Pomar Foundation in Colorado Springs as a historic resource that promotes and preserves regional history and heritage.
