What a wonderful surprise. I had a day to spend exploring Fort Collins. The Avery House is a great way to step back in history and learn about the people and families that came before us. The lovely ladies that guide you room by room through the house know the history and have great stories to tell. The architecture of the house is very interesting and the fact that the original details and furnishings are still there is incredible. read more

I went with a friend to visit Avery House earlier this week. We initially assumed it was going to be a short interlude in between other Fort Collins attractions, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trips! The house itself is stunning; having been beautifully restored to Victorian splendour, it's charmingly reflective of the way its former residents would have lived. But it's the docents who are the real stars here - they're a group of incredibly passionate, lovely people who take every group of visitors around to introduce them personally to both Avery House, and the history of Fort Collins as a city. We especially enjoyed being able to explore and ask questions about all the small details in the house, from the furnishings to the lifestyles and stories behind every item. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone living in, visiting or passing through Fort Collins for how it lets you take a great look at one of the most interesting portions of the city's past. read more

Taking a ride on this historic streetcar really makes you feel like you've traveled back in time…read more The journey takes you along the original route and down a street of Victorian style houses. The craftsmanship of the streetcar is a beautiful. The ride takes less than half an hour for the round trip. The conductors are a great source of information and are happy to share the history. The entire operation is run by volunteers. It's incredible what the team has done to restore the streetcar and how much effort goes into operating this historic attraction. For only $2 for an adult and $1 for a child - this is a cheap and unique treat!

It is in front of the library. Stop by! History:Died 1948 Visitors to our Roadside Pet Cemetery know that there exists in America a heroic dog archetype: the kind but hardworking mutt who triumphs over melting pot beginnings and adversity, sometime appearing out of nowhere, to win the hearts of the humans around them. Annie The Railroad Dog certainly qualifies for our list. Some sixty years ago, Annie greeted passengers at the Mason Street train station in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Like fellow depression-era train station mascot, Shep, of Ft. Benton, Montana, she was adopted by railroad men during the '30s, and became a local celebrity in the years that followed. A report from the period notes that newcomers were surprised when disembarking locals greeted Annie before their own families

They will bring your food, but don't expect them to serve you and clean up after yourself. Good spot for kids to explore a bit when it's not crowded. The portions were generous. The treehouse in the back is a good reason to visit if you have kids and parking in front and street parking are options too.
