VC Talk: Exploring Vancouver’s Past and Present
Friends of the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site
On May 9th, join local author Patty Grasher for a 30-minute presentation celebrating the launch of Explore Vancouver Washington: A Local Guide to Southwest Washington, followed by a Q&A session.
Talk will highlight the Fort as a powerful starting point for understanding Vancouver’s layered history from Indigenous communities and the Hudson’s Bay Company to the U.S. Army presence. These stories connect to what visitors experience today.
Drawing from her guidebook, Patty will share insights into what visitors often overlook and how to explore the Fort and surrounding historic reserve in a more meaningful and connected way.
The presentation will also recognize the work of photographer Jonathan E. Kraft, whose images throughout the guidebook help bring Vancouver’s history, landscapes, and community to life.
Copies of the guidebook will be available for purchase in the Friends of Fort Vancouver bookstore.
