Bent’s Old Fort Limited Access

Entry into the reconstructed fort is limited to the central plaza. For your safety, respect all closures and restrictions. Guided tours provide access into furnished rooms.

Access to the reconstructed fort is restricted due to safety issues stemming from nearly 50 years of use and deficiencies in the 1970s design and construction of the Fort. Park staff conducted stabilization work in the spring of 2025 and continue to monitor the condition of the structure for further change.
