Avery House Museum

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

This 1879 home belonged to Franklin Avery, the city surveyor of Fort Collins. Avery’s foresight is evident in the tree-lined, wide boulevards that grace the city center. The Avery House is a stop along the self-guided historical walking tour available from the Fort Collins Convention & Visitors Bureau, with free guided tours that take you through the historic building.

It's truly one of the best introductions to local history you can find.
