VOTE FOR LIBRARIES

 

Libraries are needed and wanted. They are

porn-free, modern, and connected to the world,

and now much more affordable due to the generosity  of local philanthropists.

Re-enactors putting on really big show in
Fort Vancouver this evening and tomorrow

There are at least seven destinations, all of them inside the stockade walls of the recreated Hudson's Bay Company Fort Vancouver in the Vancouver National Historic Reserve, that deserve a visitor's attention tonight and Saturday night during the National Park Service's annual Candlelight tours.

And they are all free.

Tours, led by re-enactors, are between 7 and 10 p.m. This year, the history lessons center on what happened at the fort after an American ship that had stopped at the Columbia River site of Fort Vancouver sank.

Visitors will be taken through the chief factor's house, the bake house, blacksmith shop, Indian trade shop, counting house, carpenter shop and the fur store warehouse.  

There are two days of history packed into the two events, according to chief park ranger, Greg Shine. He urges visitors to take part in both nights. For further information, call Shine at 816-6231.
