"Powerful Legacy – Fort Nisqually . . ." - Jan 14
“Powerful Legacy – Fort Nisqually and the American Settlement of South Puget Sound” was the title of our January 14 meeting presentation. Local historian Drew W. Crooks told us the exciting story of Fort Nisqually (1833-1870), a Hudson’s Bay Company post near the Nisqually River. Fur trading and farming were at the heart of the station’s activities and it had a significant and complicated relationship with Native Americans and American settlers (including the pioneers of Olympia and Tumwater). Fort Nisqually left a powerful legacy, which continues to the present day.
