Discover our past through historical interpretation. As Ft. Clatsop Rangers we have been trained and schooled in presenting the history of the founding of the west in an exciting and stimulating manner. We have spent the past seven years traveling the Columbia River telling stories of America's conquest of the west. Learn about the first women to come west, the missionaries, explorers and trappers, and the first settlers. We present programs about:
- The first explorers of the west
- Fire starting with flint and steel
- Tools that won the west
- Women of the west
- The plight of the Native Americans.
- Mapping the west
- Life on the Oregon Trail
- Astoria: The founding of the oldest permenant settlement west of the Mississippi.
We come to your location with authentic costume and equipment. Minimum price per visit is $50. The programs run from 45 minutes up with time for questions and answers. Handouts and reading list included, when applicable.
