Fort Vancouver National Historic Site

The garden at the reconstructed Fort Vancouver showcases the many plants that were grown at the historic Fort Vancouver.
Located on the north bank of the Columbia River, in sight of snowy mountain peaks and a vibrant urban landscape, this park has a rich cultural past. From a frontier fur trading post, to a powerful military legacy, the magic of flight, and the origin of the American Pacific Northwest, history is shared at four unique sites. Discover stories of transition, settlement, conflict, and community.
