Historic Trust Walking Tours

Enjoy learning about some of Vancouver, Washington’s history and oldest EuroAmerican landmarks on your own schedule and at your own pace. Narration in English or Spanish.

Explore Vancouver, Washington’s historic core with three free self-guided walking tours. Learn historical highlights about the former Vancouver Barracks, oldest American military post in the Pacific Northwest and founded by the U.S. Army in 1849, and adjacent traditional downtown. Find out about the late 19th and early 20th century architecture along the way, and stories about the people who lived and worked in and rehabilitated the buildings. The tours flow into one another so that you can follow each route individually or do all three at once. Narration available in English or Spanish.
