Expanded Lantern Tour Series at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site
January 23, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Fort Vancouver National Historic Site announced the schedule for its popular Lantern Tour series for the 2015-6 season, and encouraged visitors to make reservations by calling 360-816-6244.
In addition to the popular lantern tour inside the reconstructed fur trade fort, the schedule includes a new program of thematic lantern-lit walking tours of Vancouver Barracks, the newest addition to the national park.
Reservations for all Lantern Tours are required, and payment for the tour must be made at the time of reservation.
LANTERN TOUR: AN EVENING AT THE FORT
Cost: $15 for adults, $10 for children 15 years and under.
The “Lantern Tour: An Evening at the Fort” is a wonderful opportunity to experience the reconstructed Hudson’s Bay Company’s Fort Vancouver at night. As in past years, each adult attending the program will carry their own candle lantern and tour with a Park Ranger through the reconstructed fort’s Counting House, Fur Store, Chief Factor’s House, Kitchen, and Bake House.
In each building, visitors will experience historical vignettes with costumed living history interpreters, including graduates of the park’s Youth Volunteer Programs. Visitors will learn what activities would have occurred during the evening hours at Fort Vancouver, and enjoy a cup of hot cider at the end of the tour. These tours meet at the entrance gate to the reconstructed Fort Vancouver, 1001 E. Fifth St. All tours start at 7:00 p.m.
