About Fort Vancouver National Historic Site

Fort Vancouver National Historic Site preserves the Hudson's Bay Company post founded in 1824, which served as its Pacific coast fur trade headquarters. You can explore the reconstructed stockade, its historic garden, and living history demonstrations. Next door is Vancouver Barracks, an Army post established in 1849, along with Officers Row. The Pearson Air Museum, in a historic hangar, covers the region's early aviation history.
