Poudre Landmarks Foundation’s annual Historic Homes Tour is on Saturday, September 15, 2018, from 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 1960. 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. Guests visit the homes and travel between tour properties at their own pace. Knowledgeable docents guide the tour at each location.
