Recreated early 19th‑century fur trading fort on Astoria’s waterfront—palisades, wooden blockhouses and interpretive signs set against the Columbia River and Astoria-Megler Bridge. Visit at golden hour or foggy mornings for atmospheric light. Site is small, free to visit, with nearby street parking and easy pedestrian access from downtown; combine with riverfront and Maritime Museum shots. Expect coastal changeable weather; layers and waterproof gear recommended.
