📜 Historical
Fort Stevens State Park
📍 Astoria, Oregon
“You round the bend and suddenly the ocean stretches out before you, revealing rugged shorelines dotted with moss-covered remnants of an old fort. Eerie history envelops you as you walk through the preserved bunkers and gaze across the waters that once faced enemies.”
Step into history at this lesser-known military fort on the outskirts of Astoria. Once a significant coastal defense site during the Civil War, its remnants of gun emplacements and World War II coastal artillery whisper stories of the past amidst the stunning coastal scenery.
Explorer Tip
Check out the shipwreck of the Peter Iredale along the beach.
