Hampton by Hilton, formerly known as Hampton Inn, is a brand of hotels trademarked by Hilton Worldwide.[2] The Hampton hotel brand is a chain of moderately priced, upper midscale hotels with limited food and beverage facilities. Most Hampton hotels are independently owned and operated by franchisees, though a few are managed by Hilton. Hampton by Hilton is one of the largest hotel franchises in the U.S. As of December 31, 2018, the Hampton franchise includes 2,433 hotels throughout the United States and in nearly 20 other countries with 250,310 rooms.[1][3][4]
In 1999, the Promus Hotel Corporation was bought by Hilton Worldwide for $3.7 billion. In 2004, as part of the $100 million Make it Hampton initiative,[9] Hampton began upgrading its hotels including the production of an alarm clock which featured an easy-to-set alarm and an mp3 player hook-up.[10] Other changes made during the upgrade were the switch to white bedding,[11] adding hot food items to continental breakfast options and free high-speed internet to rooms.[9] In 2012, under the Perfect Mix initiative, the company completed upgrades to the lobbies of its hotels adding more social space. Hampton continued to renovate its spaces with a campaign introduced in 2013, directed towards younger clientele that included in-room mini-fridges, new bedside tables with power access, updated bathrooms, and updated hotel exteriors.[11] Hampton by Hilton has been ranked in the top 5 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 from 2010-2015.[6]
Today Hampton is in the upper midscale lodging segment, designed to compete against Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express, and Comfort Inn/Comfort Suites.
BENT'S OLD FORT - LA JUNTA, COLORADO
Bent's Old Fort is an 1833 fort located in Otero County in southeastern Colorado, United States. A company owned by Charles and William Bent and Ceran St. Vrain built the fort to trade with Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Plains Indians and trappers for buffalo robes. For much of its 16-year history, the fort was the only major white American permanent settlement on the Santa Fe Trail between Missouri and the Mexican settlements. It was destroyed under mysterious circumstances in 1849.
The area of the fort was designated a National Historic Site under the National Park Service on June 3, 1960. It was further designated a National Historic Landmark later that year on December 19, 1960. The fort was reconstructed and is open to the public.

PARTICIPATE: Schools, sponsors and corporate collaborators are welcome to participate. For details on how to participate contact the Immersive Bent's Old Fort committee at
On November 19, 2014, the Immersive Education Initiative announced that Bent’s Old Fort, a unit of the United States National Park Service located on the Santa Fe Trail in Colorado’s Otero County, will be reconstructed virtually in the video game Minecraft and also as a fully immersive 3D virtual reality (VR) environment.
One of several new activities under the Initiative’s Immersive Arts and Culture program, Immersive Bent’s Old Fort is being developed in collaboration with the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service, the City of La Junta Colorado, Otero Junior College, and Colorado’s East Otero School District.
Through the Initiative’s Learn to Earn program students in Colorado, working in collaboration with Stanford University’s Architecture Design Program, will actively participate in reconstructing the fort in both Minecraft and virtual reality (VR).
Immersive Bent’s Old Fort, along with corresponding history curricula and teaching materials, will be available free of charge to the general public and to schools around the world.
Online virtual tours of the immersive fort will be available to schools as a complement to the in-person tours currently conducted on-site at the fort by National Park Service rangers. For details visit
CASTLE OF THE PLAINS
Known as the “Castle of the Plains,” Bent's Old Fort was a 1830s - 1840s adobe fur trading post on the mountain branch of the Santa Fe Trail where traders, trappers, travelers, and the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes came together in peaceful terms for trade. A unique center of cultural exchange at the time no less than seven different languages were spoken at the fort including English, Spanish, French, and numerous American Indian languages. Today, living historians recreate the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of the past with guided tours, demonstrations and special events.
Bent’s Old Fort served as an instrument of Manifest Destiny and a catalyst for change in the United States. The fort’s influence with the Plains Indians and its political and social connections in Santa Fe helped pave the way for the U.S. occupation of the West and the annexation of Mexico’s northern province during the U.S.-Mexican War. Along with El Camino Real, the Santa Fe Trail was part of a trade network linking Europe, New York, and St. Louis with Santa Fe and Mexico City. Opened in 1821, the Santa Fe Trail followed old trade routes established by American Indians that were later used by Spanish, Mexican and American troops, traders and other travelers.
Development of Immersive Bent’s Old Fort begins in January 2015.

2016 State Honor Award - Santa Fe Trail
After Mexican independence in 1821, American and Mexican leaders developed the Santa Fe Trail. It quickly became a commercial and cultural link between the two countries. The trail also served as a road of conquest during the Mexican War, and later the Civil War. After the completion of the Santa Fe Railroad to Santa Fe in 1880, the trail was abandoned as a national route. The story of the Santa Fe Trail in Colorado cannot be told without Bent’s Old Fort – built in 1833 by William and Charles Bent and Ceran St. Vrain, the fort was an important outpost of American commerce along the Mountain Branch of the Trail. It was reconstructed in the 1970s and is operated as Bent’s Old Fort National Historic Site by the National Park Service.
The La Junta Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution owned the site of Bent’s Old Fort from 1926 to 1954. During their ownership, the Chapter maintained the site, which included the construction of the stone gateway at the original entrance to the roadway leading to the Fort. In addition to being stewards of the Bent’s Old Fort Site, between 1902 and 1912 the DAR placed twenty-seven markers along the Trail in southeast Colorado. Without those markers, many segments of the trail would have been lost to future generations. For over 100 years, DAR has continued as a protector and supporter of the history of the Santa Fe Trail and Bent’s Old Fort.
The Santa Fe Trail Association, Bent’s Fort Chapter, focuses on the history of the Santa Fe Trail and the branches in Baca, Bent, Las Animas, Otero and Prowers counties of southeastern Colorado. The purpose of the Santa Fe Trail Association is to protect and preserve the Santa Fe Trail and to promote awareness of the historical legacy associated with it. Chapter activities include trail treks, lectures, and museum tours that enable trail enthusiasts to share information and learn more about the international, national, state and local significance of the trail. The Chapter also has an ongoing project to place signage where the trail crosses public roads in Southeast Colorado.
