I've always wondered about the cemetery on Harmony. Are they old, old, old graves?


Back when Fort Collins was still Camp Collins and when Old Town was just called town, there was a farming community called Harmony, centered around Harmony and Timberline roads. 

The Harmony Cemetery is one of the last visible signs of the community, along with the original school and store which still stand near the intersection. The now inactive cemetery is home to about 50 graves dating back to the 1870s.

I don't have any photos of Harmony Cemetery handy but if you want to take a walk through history, check out this set of photos from the early days of Fort Collins.
