The Friends of Old Fort Stevens is a 501(C)3 nonprofit corporation

Our mission is to support Fort Stevens State Park, located near the mouth of the Columbia River on the Oregon side.

Fort Stevens was a coastal defense fort and saw active service from the Civil War days to the end of World War II.

12.Hanft.a copyFort Stevens State Park, in addition to excellent camping and RV facilities, has many interesting artifacts from its fort days that continue to intrigue visitors.

Examples are the reconstruction of the Civil War earthworks – still in progress: Battery Russell, the gun battery in the line of fire from a Japanese submarine during World War II, and the near-by Pacific Rim Peace Memorial: Battery Mishler, a one of a kind battery and the underground command post for the Columbia River forts.
