INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO?
The Fort Collins Museum began as the Pioneer Museum in 1941. In 1976,
the Pioneer Museum relocated across the park into the old Carnegie Library
building and became the Fort Collins Museum. The Museum has evolved into a
regional center focusing on area history and culture. Today, multiple
galleries feature temporary and permanent exhibitions. The Courtyard
encompasses three historic structures: The Antoine Janis Cabin (1859), The
Auntie Stone Cabin (1864), The Upper Boxelder Schoolhouse and the
Franz-Smith cabin (1882) The Museum offers an array of programs and
educational opportunities.
One of the true treasures of the Fort Collins Museum is the Museum building
itself. Constructed in 1904 of native sandstone, the Museum building
originally served as the Fort Collins Public Library. The chiseled words
"Public Library" can still be seen over the West Entrance to the Museum.
Industrialist Andrew Carnegie provided the $12,500 to fund the building. The
Eastern addition was completed in 1939 under the Works Projects
Administration. The building became the Fort Collins Museum in 1976 and is a
registered historic landmark.970-221-6738
The Grandview Cemetery
is a fascinating place to learn more about Fort Collins. The 45 acres where
this cemetery is located, is actually the third location. The Post Cemetery
and the Mountain Home Cemetery were the two prior locations and as the
population grew the need for more burial sites also grew. Each time they
decided to move, all the graves had to be dug up and moved as well. W.W.
Westfall, of company j, 13th Missouri Volunteer Cavalry, who died on
November 3, 1865, was buried at all three sites. His grave currently lies on
the front edge of the special Soldiers Section. In this area, standing tall
above gravesites of veterans from the Spanish-American war, both world wars
and the Korean War is a life-sized figure of a Union Civil War soldier
erected in 1905.
