About this place

Fort Nisqually Living History Museum recreates life at a fur trading post from 1855 on the Puget Sound. Visitors can wander the grounds and go inside the historical buildings to see how people lived, worked, and played during that era. Two original structures from the site, the Factor's House and Granary, survive from the time when the Hudson's Bay Company operated the fort before American settlement pressures led to its closure. The museum sits within Point Defiance Park in Tacoma.

If you are a member here

A membership to Fort Nisqually Living History Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
