Situated on property once owned by Mormon Bishop Edward Partridge and by Alexander Doniphan, this homestead was acquired in 1858 by Colonel William W. Bent, founder of Bent's Fort, Colorado. In 1864, during Bent's residency, the farm pastures (now Loose Park) were the site of the Battle of Westport. Seth E. Ward, wagon master and Indian trader, purchased the property in 1871 and completed Bent's antebellum house. Restoration was begun in 1949 by Dr. and Mrs. Frederick B. Campbell.
