Founder Sam Arnold’s daughter, Holly Arnold Kinney, now owns what may be the ultimate destination for the person hungry for wild western culture. The Fort is just that, an adobe-and-timbers re-creation of the late Bent Fort that now hosts diners instead of soldiers. For some The Fort is a worthy bastion of Colorado kitsch and early American food. Much like the Buckhorn Exchange in Denver, the foothills establishment serves a stockyard full of beef and buffalo. These bovines come in various cuts and rustic treatments; there are even a few organ meats available.
