Seven Miles east of La Junta on Colorado Highway 194, Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site was officially dedicated at ceremonies on 25 July 1976. Colorado Governor Richard Lamm, Department of the Interior officials, National Park Service staff, and several thousand visitors marveled at the re-created adobe castle rising majestically on the Colorado high plains. Their trip into the past was enhanced by costumed interpreters cast in the rlse of the trading post's occupants of 130 years ago. Additional thousands of sightseers have since wandered through the authentically reproduced fort, the replica of a once self-sufficient outpost and the center of a Southwestern trading empire. Bent's Old Fort is a monument to the Bicentennial of our nation and to the Colorado Centennial.
