"Eastertide" at the Avery House
The Victorians loved Easter, calling it "Eastertide" and celebrating the occasion for over one week. Egg hunts and the Easter Hare come from German tradition, but post-Civil War Americans shaped the holiday into a lively celebration that included egg rolling and flower-festooned Easter bonnets.
The Avery House invites you to immerse yourself in Victorian elegance. Free tours are offered Saturdays & Sundays, 1-4 p.m.
NOTE: We are closed on Easter Sunday, April 5, to allow our volunteers to enjoy Easter with their families. The Avery House 328 W. Mountain Ave Fort Collins, CO 80521 (970) 221-0533 |
History Comes to Life During School Tours
Let our knowledgeable docents regale your school group with tales of life in turn-of-the-19th-century Fort Collins. Kids soak up history as they tour the old-fashioned kitchen, spy the hidden cubby in the children's bedroom, view the curious Victorian "hair art" in the Avery bedroom, and more.
