Foster Stagecoach & Hotel Site Tour

The Apishapa Valley Historical Society will sponsor a tour to the Foster Stagecoach & Hotel Site on Sat. Oct 24th at 10:00 AM. This site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places situated northeast of Aguilar on the Apishapa River. There is little left of the original structure but a fascinating early history of the area. Some walking is involved but there is a small parking/ seating area nearby for visitors who choose not to walk to a family cemetery nearby.

Meet on the east side of Exit 34 at 10:00 AM. This site is on private property, please do not attempt to access it on your own. Call or text 719-406-5203 for more info or reservations or in the event of bad weather cancellation. This tour is free but donations are welcome.
