As the sister event to the 2025 Historic Homes Tour, the Pre-Tour Lecture offers guests an opportunity to dive deeper into the themes that bring Fort Collins’ history to life. Presented in partnership with the City of Fort Collins Historic Preservation Services, this engaging evening sets the stage for the tour with thought-provoking stories and fresh perspectives from local experts.

Growing Fort Collins: Architecture and the Natural World
The natural world and the built environment are all around us. Tall trees shade the city streets, a wood fence separates one backyard from the neighbors, and water flows through a ditch on its way to a nearby farm. Throughout history, nature and the built environment have interacted, changing the way we see and understand our world. Join historians Jim Bertolini and Bekah Schields to explore how architecture and design have shaped the way we understand the natural world and gain a deeper understanding of the homes on this year's historic homes tour.

Lecture Details: Tickets are $10 per person and may be purchased through the Historic Homes Tour ticket link. Tickets may be purchased individually if you are unable to attend the Historic Homes Tour itself, or as part of a package option that combines the lecture with tour admission.
