The Vancouver National Historic Reserve Historic District includes a wide variety of buildings erected by the Hudson's Bay Company, U.S. Army and the National Park Service at Fort Vancouver, Vancouver, Washington. The district includes reconstructions of historic buildings that were excluded from previously-designated historic districts on the grounds that they had no intrinsic history. Structures within the district include the reconstructed Fort Vancouver, Army buildings from the 1940s, and Mission 66-era Park Service facilities.

*FIREWORKS!!!* @ Fort Vancouver National Historic Site Part 1 of 2
Title says it all :) Part 2 of 2 will be uploaded later which is the Grand Finale.
This 4th of July event is kind of a family tradition for me. Thousands of people come out for this event to the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site in Vancouver, WA every 4th of July. You just basically sit on the hillside with blankets and have a picnic. Fireworks begin at 10 PM but most people come in the morning and stay there all day to get a decent spot. The place fills up real quick the closer you get to sunset.
Vancouver, WA is just across the river from Portland. The Columbia River serves as the border between Oregon and Washington. The Interstate Bridge which is part of I-5 gets people across between the 2 states. The Glenn Jackson Bridge to the east of the I-5 bridge is part of I-205 which is another option to get across the river.

Annapolis is the capital of the U.S. state of Maryland, as well as the county seat of Anne Arundel County. Situated on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Severn River, 25 miles (40 km) south of Baltimore and about 30 miles (50 km) east of Washington, DC, Annapolis is part of the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area. Its population was measured at 38,394 by the 2010 census.
The city served as the seat of the Continental Congress in 1783–84 and was the site of the 1786 Annapolis Convention (which called for the Constitutional Convention held the following year) and the Annapolis Peace Conference, held in 2007. Annapolis is the home of St. John's College as well as the United States Naval Academy.
The United States Naval Academy (also known as USNA, Annapolis, or simply Navy) is a four-year coeducational federal service academy in Annapolis, Maryland, United States. Established in 1845 under Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, it is the second oldest of the United States' five service academies, and educates officers for commissioning primarily into the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. The 338-acre (137 ha) campus is located on the former grounds of Fort Severn at the confluence of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County, 33 miles (53 km) east of Washington, D.C. and 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Baltimore. The entire campus is a National Historic Landmark and home to many historic sites, buildings, and monuments. It replaced Philadelphia Naval Asylum, in Philadelphia, that served as the first United States Naval Academy from 1838 to 1845 when the Naval Academy formed in Annapolis.[4]
Candidates for admission generally must both apply directly to the academy and receive a nomination, usually from a Member of Congress. Students are officers-in-training and are referred to as midshipmen. Tuition for midshipmen is fully funded by the Navy in exchange for an active duty service obligation upon graduation. Approximately 1,200 plebes (an abbreviation of the Ancient Roman word plebeian) enter the Academy each summer for the rigorous Plebe Summer, but only about 1,000 midshipmen graduate. Graduates are usually commissioned as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps, but a small number can also be cross-commissioned as officers in other U.S. services, and the services of allied nations. The United States Naval Academy has some of the highest paid graduates in the country according to starting salary.[5] The academic program grants a bachelor of science degree with a curriculum that grades midshipmen's performance upon a broad academic program, military leadership performance, and mandatory participation in competitive athletics. Midshipmen are required to adhere to the academy's Honor Concept.
A Trip to Historic Fort Egbert
In 1899, lured by the Klondike Gold Rush, miners and settlers flocked to Alaska hoping to strike it rich. In response to reports of lawlessness, the U.S. Army decided to establish Ft. Egbert on the banks of the Yukon River a few miles from Canada. Now a historic site operated by the Bureau of Land Management and Eagle historical society, it's still a worthy destination today.
Artillery Barracks (Fort Vancouver National Site)
In spring/summer of 2011, the barracks underwent a renovation of its south porch and 6,500 square feet of interior space. Many modern amenities were added while preserving the character of the building.

Fort Vancouver - Video Learning - WizScience.com
Fort Vancouver was a 19th-century fur trading outpost along the Columbia River that served as the headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company's Columbia Department, located in the Oregon Country. Named for Captain George Vancouver, the fort was located on the northern bank of the Columbia River in present-day Vancouver, Washington, near Portland, Oregon. Today, a full-scale replica of the fort, with internal buildings, has been constructed and is open to the public as Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
The outpost was established in the winter of 1824–1825. At that time, the region known as the Columbia District of the Hudson's Bay Company, and increasingly as the Oregon Country to Americans, was jointly occupied by the United States and Britain; a situation agreed to in the Anglo-American Convention of 1818. British interests were represented by the Hudson's Bay Company, which had exclusive trading rights to most of the land that is now Western Canada. To protect their interests north of the Columbia River, they sought to set up a headquarters somewhere along the northern bank that would secure the area and act as the hub for their fur trading in the Pacific Northwest; replacing Fort George in that capacity as it was on the river's south bank and not as convenient to the inland trade.
Sir George Simpson was instrumental in establishing the fort, and Dr. John McLoughlin was its first Chief Factor ; a position he held for nearly 22 years. James Douglas spent nineteen years in Fort Vancouver; serving as Chief Accountant until 1834 when he was promoted to Chief Trader of the post.
