Grandview Cemetry
This is a beautiful old cemetery, with a reputation for excellent bird watching opportunities.
The first cemetery in Fort Collins was created to serve the cavalry military post. During the military occupation of Fort Collins through 1867, less than a dozen soldiers appear to have ended their days. As the town developed a different site was chosen, and the soldiers' remains were moved to the new "Mountain Home". Those remains were gradually transferred to Grandview beginning in late 1887 or early 1888 and by the 1920s the site of the former cemetery at Mountain Home had been converted to a playground.
