Fort Vancouver National Historic Site

Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, the only unit of the national park system in the Portland/Vancouver Metropolitan Area, is the Pacific Northwest's premier historical archaeology and living history site and home of Pearson Air Museum. Nestled snugly today in the Vancouver/Portland metropolitan area and enveloped by its highway, rail, air, and maritime commercial networks, Fort Vancouver is a

gem of a park whose story as an economic and cultural center - told, in part, through engaging programs and a world-class archaeology collection - fascinatingly portends that of the modern-day Pacific Northwest. This historic site includes the home in which Dr. John McLoughlin, Fort Vancouver's Chief Factor, who later became known as the "Father of Oregon," lived, and the home of Forbes Barclay.
