Five miles south of town on the Post Road lies what remains of old Fort Pena
Colorado, built in 1879 to protect area residents from Native American raids.
Natural springs feed a large pond, a feature that has made it an oasis for
centuries. Abandoned in 1893, some of the foundations of the original structures
can still be found. The site is a public park, popular for picnics and
birdwatchers.
