Bent's Fort

[Ringel05]

If none of you have ever been there you should try to make the trip. This August they're having a bicentennial event with period reenactors/living historians.

..they filmed Centennial there ...I thought they rebuilt it from original drawings?

When the fort was reconstructed in 1976, its authenticity was based on the use of archaeological excavations, paintings and original sketches, diaries and other existing historical data from the period

I was mistaken about the bicentennial event, it's September not August.

It's the Santa Fe Trail Bicentennial.
