Lindenmeier Site

One of the most important Folsom-era archaeological sites in North America, and a National Historic Landmark. Ancient hunters camped on this ground more than 10,000 years ago; excavations here in the 1930s reshaped what was known about the earliest people in Colorado.

The site sits within Soapstone Prairie Natural Area, owned by the City of Fort Collins and neighbouring Larimer County’s Red Mountain Open Space. Soapstone is seasonal — open March 1 through November 30.
