Eaton’s what towns should be

Step back in time to a quieter era

Sometimes you get it right.
It’s been almost a month now since my wife, kids, dog and I guided the movers from our rental in Loveland to our 104-year-old Victorian home in Eaton.
For those of you who have never ventured east of Interstate 25 except in an airplane, Eaton is about 20 miles east of Fort Collins and just a quick jaunt north of Greeley. It’s an old agricultural community, one that you’re liable to breeze through along U.S. Highway 85 (until the Eaton cop catches you past the Agland convenience store).
