History of the Barracks

The Artillery Barracks is part of historic Fort Vancouver which was used as a trading post in the 1830's-1840's. The Barracks were built later, in the early 1900's, to house an increasing soldier population in response to WWI. Jared and I both consider ourselves to be the history/genealogy buffs in the family. With all the history in the building, we both knew immediately that the Artillery Barracks would be the perfect place to get married.
