A replica of Bent's Fort, the structure incorporates over 80,000 handmade adobe bricks and beams hewn with drawknives, foot adzes and hand planes.

[5] Arnold developed menu items based on ingredients available in Colorado at the time of Bent's Fort and promoted frontier cookery with the public television series Frying Pans West.

The Fort's menu features local ingredients and regional game, particularly bison, elk, and quail.

Recipes are inspired by a 3,000-volume rare and historic cookbook library amassed by Sam Arnold,[8] with additions made through a semi-annual process that considers new ideas from the restaurant's kitchen staff.
