The Fort

Bent's Quarters, a private dining room, recreates much of the feel of the 1840s.    A collection of medicinal herbs from New Mexico and various items of the fur trade period line the shelves: knives, beads, buckles, musket caps, tobacco twists and "segars", tea bricks, loaf sugar, Florida water, lucifers, and much more.     This room is perfect for corporate meetings or intimate gatherings.

The St. Vrain Council Room angles off the St. Vrain bar and accommodates private parties and music evenings.    It features artwork by Carrie Arnold and Edward Curtis, a corner fireplace, and French doors out to the courtyard.    After dark, the small fire in the courtyard glows orange through the panes.

The Main Dining Room, with its fireplace and view of the foothills and lights of Denver and the plains beyond, features a beamed ceiling, artwork, and authentic mid-nineteenth-century artifacts.    Throughout the building, the vigas (log beam) were stripped by drawknife, and zapatas (footed supports) were rough cut and then finished with a foot adz.    All wood surfaces were hand-planed to remove machine saw marks.
