Laporte was Colona

or something like that.

The Janis Cabin

On August 9th I found this historical marker about an early pioneer. Antoine Janis moved to Colona in 1844 and then someone moved his original cabin to Fort Collins in 1939.

This fireplace looks too cozy! I bet it’s not part of the original building.

I’m sure some CSU student ran off with the mattress

I think that’s an electrical outlet in the corner

I figure the historical society has some kind of educational enactment of sorts in this place. There’s a dirt floor which was standard early 1800 cabin decor.  I got there before the museum opened, but the gate was unlocked so I took a peek.
