The Fort Nisqually Living History Museum is a reconstruction of the fort which was started in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Two of the fort’s original structures—the Factor’s House and the Granary—were moved from the original site of the fort to the museum. The museum gives visitors a glimpse of life in the fort in 1855.
The function of the granary was to store oats, wheat, potatoes and peas cultivated in the large gardens and fields surrounding Fort Nisqually. This structure, completed in 1850, was relocated from Fort Nisqually’s historic location and is one of the oldest wooden structures in Washington State. It was built in the traditional post-in-sill style used in the Hudson Bay Company posts.
