Fort Clatsop National Memorial [OR]
The Fort Clatsop National Memorial preserves the 1805 through 1806 winter encampment of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. During their 106 day stay, it rained all but 12 days. The men spent the time hunting, taking care of their gear, and trading with and learning the cultures of the Clatsop and Chinook. The Lewis and Clark National Historical Park's education center is located at the Fort Clatsop National Memorial.
The memorial offers an introductory film, exhibits, guided and self-guided educational programs for students, traveling trunks, videos for loan, Junior Ranger activities, and costumed programs. The costumed programs are available mid-June through Labor Day. The website offers an educator's guide and suggested reading for teachers.
