Details
Join our costumed guide to journey back in time and see the dark side of the city's history, complete with bootleggers and brothels. The 90-minute walking tour goes through five blocks of Old Town and lets guests in on the seductive secrets of Fort Collins' past. Besides visiting the location of the very first saloon in the city, those taking the tour will also travel to the site of a bootlegger's murder, and the jail where his assassin was held. Guests will get to hear the tantalizing story of Fort Collins' most famous Madame, learn about the brothel where the city's first murder took place, and even get a first-hand look inside one of the most historic houses of ill-repute from this time.
