Ted's Place, Colorado

Ted's Place is a gas station in Larimer County, Colorado, United States. Ted's Place is located near the mouth of the Poudre Canyon, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Fort Collins.

In May, 1922, Ted Herring opened a filling station and store at the intersection of US 287 and Colorado State Highway 14.[1][2] The popular stop near the canyon was quickly named 'Ted's Place' by local residents.[3] After Herring's death in 1963, the property had various owners and in 2016 is owned by Shell.[4]

There are "a number of log cabins built by forgotten pioneers" to the south.[5]
