An Old-Fashioned Independence Day at The 1879 Avery House

Celebrate an old-fashioned Independence Day. Lawn games are free for all ages. Tours of the Avery House are available for $5 per guest.

This community event coincides with the City of Fort Collins Independence Day parade which steps off at 10am right in front of the Avery House. The parade marches west on Mountain Avenue to City Park. Following your parade viewing,, walk to the Avery House lawn and continue the July 4th festivities.

Come out to play old-fashioned games such as croquet and bean bag toss. Make crafts and purchase Fort Collins history related gifts and souvenirs.. Enjoy live music and have your face painted. The community is also invited to tour the interior of the historic Avery House––including the special exhibit, Let's Play!––for a reduced admission of $5 per guest.

Old-Fashioned Independence at the Avery House is produced in cooperation with the City of Fort Collins.
