The Growing Pikes Peak Toll Road Ticket Collection
This Pikes Peak toll road ticket from 1919 was cataloged into the archives this week. It isn’t in great shape, but it does have a date stamp on the back, which makes it an important addition.
The modern toll road was opened by Spencer Penrose in 1915.
These early Pikes Peak tickets are stored in 3” x 5” toploaders. Those are easy to find, but the polypropylene sleeves are trimmed on a cutting mat using a pizza cutter-style blade.
These photos will give a better sense of the scale.
The oldest ticket in the archives dates to sometime between 1892 and 1906, but this is the oldest Pikes Peak toll road ticket in the collection so far.
