As the fur-trade headquarters of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Columbia Department, Fort Vancouver was the political, cultural, and commercial center of the Pacific Coast during the early 1800s, with influence stretching from Alaska to San Francisco, and from the Rocky Mountains to Hawaii. The site is a history lovers’ paradise, with an engaging visitor’s center and a modern-day replica of the fort that can be explored.

The fort site is below Vancouver Barracks, one of the most historic military posts in the United States. Next door is the Pearson Air Museum, which provides exhibits on aviation at Pearson Field, from its start as a military airfield, to being the site of the world’s largest lumber mill, to its current commercial use.

From this site, the Vancouver Land Bridge installation and Fort Vancouver Trail can also be accessed.
