One of the oldest Establishments on the West Coast, Ft Vancouver was actually a British establishment and the Hudsons Bay company for Fur Trading and those arriving over “THE OREGON TRAIL”.
Now, in 2012, and since I can remember it is the site of one of the largest fireworks displays west of the Mississippi!
