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 composing the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The well at Fort Vancouver, 5.2 feet in diameter and more than 25 feet deep, is lined with stone. It was uncovered at a depth of four feet, and is the "only visible surviving structure of the old trading post." It is proposed to reconstruct the above-ground wellhead and windlass as an exhibit in place.
