Fort Collins 33rd Annual Historic Homes Tour
Date: September 16, 2017, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Location: 8 historic buildings in Fort Collins
Tickets: $25 pre-purchase online at poudrelandmarks.org, $30 day of tour
Poudre Landmarks Foundation’s annual Historic Homes Tour is on Saturday, September 16, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This late-summer event opens six private residences and two historic city-owned properties to tour guests. This year’s tour showcases Old Town Fort Collins historic homes built between 1879 and 1920, and one home built in 2008 with the spirit of old town in mind. Many styles are represented: Victorian, Craftsman, Cottage, and National. Each private house has been maintained by their owners to match the era and architecture of the home. The city-owned 1879 Avery House and 1883 Water Works are also part of the tour. The Avery House and 3 of the private tour homes are accessible from the Mountain Avenue trolley. The tour also features a unique farm property on Overland Trail which will be accessed via shuttle. Guests visit the homes and travel between tour properties at their own pace. Knowledgeable docents guide the tour at each location.
