Fort Vancouver National Historic Site



Last Tuesday we went to Fort Vancouver National Historic Site in Vancouver Washington, just north of Portland, Oregon. Fort Vancouver was a british fort used for the fur trade in the early 1800s. The buildings have been reconstructed and spreads out over several acres of land. It has a land bridge, historic homes, officers barracks and a beautiful garden. Great place to walk around and lots of fun history to see and explore. Click on the following link: National Park Service Website to learn more about the history of Fort Vancouver.

We arrived there too late to explore inside the fort. However, one of the workers let us in to take a few pictures just before she closed the gate. We also took lots of photos of the beautiful garden just outside the fort.
