the 2024 Historic Homes Tour
SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2024
Poudre Landmarks is thrilled to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Fort Collins Historic Homes Tour, a cherished tradition that showcases our community's rich architectural heritage.
This year’s tour promises to be an exceptional journey through time, as we revisit the most-beloved properties from the past four decades. From a quaint, clay adobe to a sprawling farmhouse cottage; from one of the oldest wood-frame buildings in Fort Collins to a stately, Gothic-revival mansion. Each property tells a story of the city's evolution and the families who shaped its history.
The Tour–produced by the Poudre Landmarks Foundation and the City of Fort Collins Historic Preservation Division–will be held Saturday, September 21st from 10am to 4pm.
There are 10 properties on the 2024 tour. Five private residential homes and five cherished historic properties. The confirmed list includes:
