This is one of the larger posts on the Hudson's Bay fur trading route. It is a very interesting visit. You get to walk through the fort into restored buildings and take a look into the past. On many days, including when we went today, there are historical re-enactors on site, who will talk with you and demonstrate some of... More

Right next to downtown Vancouver, kids free, adults $3- worth every penny. Friendly & knowledgle volunteers make history real with live demonstrations. A real example of how trade & commerce allowed people from 35 different ethnic groups over 100 years ago work together.

We arrived when there were a load of school kids but it did not detract. The exhibits were excellent and it is definitely worth a vist.

Kids came in from Condon, OR, a 3-hour drive to tour the Fort. The folks who put on the displays were awesome. The blacksmith, store owner and fur trader made it seem like we were all back in the 1800's. Wonderful grassy areas under the trees was a great place to enjoy our lunches.

Bring a picnic lunch or enjoy the... More

It was great to see the kids get a kick out of telling about the fort. It doesn't take more than an hour to go through the buildings and wander the grounds but it's good to... More

We only had 30 minutes before closing so the attendant let us in for free. The blacksmiths were still working and all of the buildings still open. Was fun to read a little history about the area and watch the blacksmiths at work.

I have lived in Clark County a long time but never knew much about this place. I find the quiet of it nice and relaxing.Great for a walk or a picnic with the family.
