Once a bustling hub for fur traders and later a strategic base for fighter pilots, Fort Vancouver offers a fascinating glimpse into the Pacific Northwest's rich history spanning over 200 years. Nestled just across the Columbia River from Portland in Vancouver, Washington, this unique national historic site is focused around a meticulously reconstructed replica of Fort Vancouver. This fur-trading post was originally established by the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1825.
The fort isn't just a static display; it's a lively historical experience. On any given day, you might catch blacksmithing demonstrations or see history enthusiasts dressed in period costumes, bringing the past to life. Beyond the fort, the surrounding area boasts lush landscapes and trails perfect for a leisurely stroll or a more adventurous hike. Don't miss the Pearson Air Museum nearby, where you can explore the aviation history that once thrived here. It's a place where history, nature, and culture intertwine, making every visit an adventure worth remembering.
