San Juanin saaren kansallinen historiallinen puisto: Opastetut kierrokset ja aktiviteetit

Only three buildings remain from the military camp that was located here for 14 years starting in 1859. Generally speaking, the buildings weren't built to last, so it's impressive that these have survived for more than 150 years.

The building pictured here was one of the officers' quarters. It was likely moved from Fort Bellingham in 1859 and occupied by Capt. George Pickett (of later Gettysburg fame). After the camp was disbanded in 1874 the building was auctioned off and converted into a farmhouse. It was later acquired by the National Park Service and restored to original condition.

The building next to it was the other officers' quarters. After the auction it was moved to downtown Friday Harbor and employed for over 130 years. In 2010 it too was acquired by the National Park Service, which moved it back to it's historic location.

This large glacial erratic sits near the redoubt at American Camp. It was left here by a receding glacier more than 10,000 years ago, and now bears a Daughters of the American Revolution plaque dedicated to Lt Henry Robert. In 1859 Robert was in the US Army Corps of Engineers when he designed and supervised the construction of a redoubt (earthwork) to protect American Camp from British warships. Both countries lay claim to San Juan Island at the time, and tensions ran high after a Hudson’s Bay Company pig was killed by an American farmer. You can read more about the Pig War here:
