Welcome to Fort Lupton

Starting off the month with a Visit to Fort Lupton, one of many 'Trading Forts' along the Missouri River and it's tributaries. Lovingly and authentically restored by the South Platte Valley Historical Society.  Welcome to Lancaster Lupton's trading post founded in 1836.


 One of these days I'll remember to use my lens hood to avoid sun flares.......


This is actually not the Trading Entrance pictured above, but a side entrance.  
Below is the Trading entrance seen from the inside.


This was a double gated portico of sorts, where Native Americans were permitted to trade, without having access to the secured part of the Fort.
