THREE ADOBE FORTS
Some History on Weld County
Early Days

A familiar sight on the Denver
road leading from Platteville to Fort
Lupton is the old adobe fort, or re-
mains of fort rather, which is close
up against the road on the high land
of the A. Fl. Griffin ranch. F. ",
Hammitt, who has a splendid fund
OF material for history relating to the
early days of the county and state,
relates the following facts and ira.
ditions regarding the fort:
There we're three forts built
exactly alike in an early day, located
at this place, at Fort ST. vrain and
at Fort Lupton. They were built as
trading posts by the Spauiards from
Santa Fe, this one first. Fort St.
vrain ten years later and the struc-
ture at Fort Lupton was erected still
later, according to accounts of the
trappers here at the time of Mr.,
Hammitt's coming into the country.
The original fort was about 100
feet square, with walls sixteen feet
high and with a tower thirty-six
feet high in the northwest corner.
This tower was used as living room
by those in charge Of the fort.
The sections Of adobe used in
building the fort were made by
Mexicans with long-horned oxen,
The beasts were driven around and
around in big mud hole, and the
mud, when mixed to the mortar
quality desired, was shaped into
blocks 2OxlO by four inches. Some
of these blocks wear to the hardness
of rock.
John Sable, trader from the St.
Louis country, who coined money by
trade with the Indians and lived a
part of the time out here, had many
