Learn about Fort Steilacoom and Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, Washington

Tour guide Chris Staudinger of ‪@PrettyGrittyTours‬ talks about the regional significance of the land and buildings that form the Fort Steilacoom Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Staudinger suggests that we can learn a lot about the way Washington Territory was settled and occupied. Among other case studies, he discusses the judicial murder of Nisqually Tribal leader Leschi against the wishes of Army officers and, later in history, the treatment of patients at Western State Hospital. Staudinger spoke at the 2023 annual meeting of the Historic Fort Steilacoom Association. https://historicfortsteilacoom.org/ The fort is grateful to the City of Lakewood for support through the lodging tax, which is earmarked specifically to help organizations that bring visitors to the area. Fort Steilacoom is one of the few places you can visit in Washington State that was active during the U.S. Civil War.
