Fort Saint Vrain, 1837 trading post near Platteville, Colorado, United States.
Fort Saint Vrain operated as a two-story adobe building with an interior courtyard at the junction of Saint Vrain Creek and South Platte River.
The Bent, St. Vrain Company received a trading license from Governor William Clark in 1836 and constructed the fort for fur commerce in 1837.
The fort connected Native American tribes with mountain men through trade activities while serving as a regional commerce center until 1848.
Visitors can find the commemorative monument by traveling west on Weld County Road 40 from Highway 85, approximately 3.75 miles until the road ends.
Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, son of Sacajawea from the Lewis and Clark Expedition, worked at Fort Saint Vrain as a translator and trader.
