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. This document completes the research necessary to produce an authentic reconstruction of the Indian Trade Store and Dispensary as it existed during the heyday of this western headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company, c. 1845, and prepares the way for the production of construction drawings and contract documents for its physical reconstruction. The Indian Trade Shop and Dispensary shall constitute a major exhibit in place. After reconstruction, it shall be furnished and equipped with stores, equipment and supplies used for trade with the native Americans and dispensing of medical services on the frontier of the Pacific Northwest, by means of still and manned exhibits in a like manner as they did in c. 1845.
