Ft. Clapsop - Lewis & Clark National Park


Lewis and Clark National Park and Fort Stevens are located in Hammond/Warrenton, OR.  We spent three days here exploring the history of this area.  The original Clark Griswold was heading to Wally World but my Clark Griswold had to follow me to every historic thing here!  This section of the Lewis and Clark National Park is home to the wintering ground of the expedition in 1805-06, Fort Clapsop.  Lewis and Clark, aided by Sacagawea as their Indian interpreter, wintered here. Their fort has been replicated based on diaries written.  Docents dressed in period clothing recount the history of the fort and the people who lived here. It sits on the Lewis and Clark River.
