Fort Yamhill, Military fort and archaeological site in Willamina, United States.
Fort Yamhill extends across elevated grounds with foundations of former military structures, barracks, and officers' quarters from the 1850s period.
Established in 1856, Fort Yamhill regulated the eastern border of the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation and managed interactions between settlers and Native Americans until 1866.
The site represents the convergence point of 27 different Native American tribes who were relocated to the Grand Ronde Reservation during the mid-nineteenth century.
The Fort Yamhill State Heritage Area includes interpretive trails, markers indicating former building locations, picnic areas, and educational exhibits about military life.
Archaeological excavations at Fort Yamhill revealed intact foundations, a kitchen fireplace, a bakery oven, and numerous artifacts from 1850s military operations.
