Fort Nisqually, Trading post and museum in Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, United States
Fort Nisqually features reconstructed buildings and two original structures from 1833, showcasing the early European settlement in the Pacific Northwest region.
The Hudson's Bay Company established Fort Nisqually in 1833 as a trading post, which became a central point for commerce between settlers and Indigenous peoples.
The fort served as a meeting point where European traders and Indigenous communities exchanged goods, primarily fur pelts and essential supplies.
Visitors can explore the museum daily, participate in guided tours, and watch historical demonstrations performed by staff members in period clothing.
The Factor's House and Granary at Fort Nisqually remain the only surviving Hudson's Bay Company buildings in the United States.
