Fort Clatsop
Fort Clatsop was the encampment of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the Oregon Country near the mouth of the Columbia River during the winter of 1805-1806. Located along the Lewis and Clark River at the north end of the Clatsop Plains approximately 5 mi (8 km) southwest of Astoria, Oregon, the fort was the last encampment of the Corps of Discovery before embarking on their return trip east to St. Louis. The site is now protected as part of Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks. It should be noted that the reconstructed fort was severely damaged by fire in 2005, and is closed to the public as attempts are being made to reconstruct the historical fort once again. It is hoped that the fort will be reopened to the public for its bicentennial celebration in 2006. As of December 2006, the fort has been rebuilt and a dedication ceremony for the new fort happened on December 9th, 2006.Top photos chosen by u all:
