Fort Clatsop
A reconstructed log fort at the Lewis and Clark Expedition's 1805–1806 winter camp, now part of a national historical park.
Fort Clatsop was the camp where the Lewis and Clark Expedition spent the winter of 1805–1806 after reaching the Pacific. It is now the heart of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. The visitor center has exhibits and a film about the expedition. The reconstructed log fort in the forest can be entered, and in summer costumed rangers demonstrate candle-making and firing flintlock muskets. A forest trail also leads to the canoe landing. Admission is about $10, and the U.S. national parks annual pass is valid here.
