Fort Clatsop






This is where Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery during the winter of 1805-06. It rained most of the days here. Members of the expedition traded with the local Indians for smoked salmon and berries. Because of prior exposure to Europeans, who came for the fur trade, the Clatsops were shrewd traders. Clark was exceedingly impressed with their canoe-making skills.
