Reviews of Fort Vasquez (Museum)

Sam Davis

I would have to say this was a great place to stop by and visit. The volunteers that were there were extremely knowledgeable about the 1800's. We got to shoot a old gun it was awesome for the cub scout to see how guns were like in the old days.

Alan Santiago

I was expecting an actual fort like bent's Old Fort National Historical Site but instead there's nothing there just a wall that's not even all the way on the original footprint of the Old Fort

Michael Torrez

Great place for history buffs!

Andrea Martinez

Very interesting! Shows history and a historian comes fri-sun to give tours. Its very educational!

Monty Brooks

Interesting stop. The girl inside knows her history. Just a quick stop on the way home. Did not know it was a fur trading post, not military. Worth a visit.

I learned a lot at this unsuspecting piece of Colorado history. Talk to Rusty.

Karmine Mancuso

Love the food truck that's always parked there

It's ok, but Fort Lupton is a way better experience, do your self a favor and go there and take the tour from Bill.

Kevin Case

Great historical site!

Maximus Von Thunderbeard

It's a fun rest stop plus learn about the pioneer era of the area and the history of the area.

Andrew Chapman

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, there are only a few exhibits, but they are displayed well, and there are a few hands on items also. The gift shop has a unique selection, nice assortment of regional historical books, and authentic hand made goods.

Paul Richardson

The curator is an amazing source of information

Merry Perry

Loved how much personal attention that we got, especially our grandkids. Well educated staff interacted with them in an enthusiastic manner and they loved it!

Timothy Schuett

Underwhelming destination, but tells a really cool and compelling story about the fur trade that brought white settlers west during the antebellum period. Be sure to check out the gift shop. Because that’s pretty much all that is there.

Thomas Loranc

Great stop and get a hands-on experience of what the fort was about from a few hundred years back in history.

susan miller

Last Saturday I learned how to make moccasins the Native American Way and later this month I'm going to be learning how to make bread the Native American Way. It's a nice little stopping spot as you're passing by on Route 85. When you're there you'll learn a little bit about history of the area with a very short guided tour. You can find out what workshops they will be having that you might want to participate in

Still forty!

Caitlin Fleming

So glad this place is still around! Much different than when I was a child! The live action days are so neat!

Bryan Lampson

Easy parking access. No entrance fee (Donations are excepted). The young lady behind the counter doubled as a sort of tour guide. She was very friendly and quite knowledgeable in regional and Fort history! She made the day for us. The fort itself is full of memorabilia from the era along with reasonably priced souvenirs and is spotless clean and well maintained! All-in-all it was a great visit!
