Fort History Fact: The Fort’s famous Mountain Man Toast was created in 1988 by founder Sam Arnold and fellow Western historians after a day of lecturing at Bent’s Old Fort. Over margaritas, they created a toast inspired by the language and spirit of 19th-century
mountain men.
The tradition continues at The Fort today. Ask your server for a Mountain Man Toast on your next visit to The Fort.
