Bingham Homestead Rural Historic Landscape
Larimer County
The Bingham Homestead is significant for exploration/settlement and for its association with the pioneer settlement and early development of Pleasant Valley and Larimer County during the period from the 1860s through 1881. Additionally, it is agriculturally significant for its long association with farming and ranching in the Pleasant Valley.

It is a good example of a 1903 Foursquare main farmhouse, designed by architect Montezuma Fuller, with a Pioneer Log style homestead cabin, and other farm buildings being of a type, period or method of construction consistent with early farms and the evolution of the farm creating the need for additional buildings and structures. Finally, the property is significant in the area non-aboriginal historic archaeology for its potential to yield information important to history.
