A Santa Fe Trail-style covered wagon is parked in front of Bent's Fort. I believe it is used on occasion for reenactments and historical interpretation. Horses are hooked up to it, and costumed "interrupters" guide the team around the property of the Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site.
Back inside the fort, near the paddock, is an original 1830's Santa Fe Trail Conestoga Wagon. It's parked inside for protection from the elements, as it is already quite a bit weathered.
