Walking where the Great White Eagle stood, at the site which was the focal point for explorers, traders and pioneers, is so exciting. Recommended: Visiting during re-enactments which happen several times a year, during which times costumed volunteers explain, answer questions and perform work consistent with the epoch. Very worthwhile. Not to be missed is a meal at the lovely... More

My kids had been here three times with school field trips over the years, but I finally visited yesterday! Very interesting place. Amazing that Hudson Bay Company had the resources to set up something like this back then. Interesting to read about the Native American role in all of this as well.

Changed different the 104th Army Division has moved to a new location in Vancouver, Washington. Thank You.

This fort has been kept up very well and is a hidden gem within Vancouver. The fort offers so much history and even the surrounding areas such as Officers Row. If you have a day to spend around Vancouver, make this your stop! Rolling hills to picnic, walk/biking trails, playground, historical center and even a FANTASTIC restaurant (Grant House). You...

The Fort has the old timber walls and lookout tower (with holes for rifles) and old Victorian style homes for officers, and various shops.

This is not a volumous presentation, but rather a compact look see into a rich past from the Hudson Trading Company's establishment through WWII. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and most forthcoming. Having lived in Vancouver for years I am ashamed I have not visited previously.

a great way to introduce kids to history. Its right up there with Lewis and Clark sites. We return often.

This is a great place to bring folks from out of town. Good parking and guided tours with lots of stuff for whole family. Be sure to give several hours to get a chance to attend various site. My favorite was blacksmith and the big house.
