Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (NHS) tells the stories of four places: the Hudson's Bay Company's Fort Vancouver, the US Army's Vancouver Barracks, Pearson Field, and the McLoughlin House in Oregon City.

These four sites encompass countless stories - tales of struggle and perseverance, of innovation and conflict, of love and community. Explore the people and places of our national park through the links below.
