With its wooden bastions standing proudly in the southeast corner of Tacoma's Point Defiance Park, the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum has served for over 90 years as a faithful reconstruction of the original Fort Nisqually located near Dupont, WA. Now, the museum debuts its newest program, Nisqually House, a hands-on experience where you and your family or friends can live onsite for a weekend unlike any other! With period-accurate clothing and a tented shelter provided by the museum, you can participate in a myriad of activities central to day-to-day life in the 1850s.

Spots are filling fast, with six Friday-Sunday weekends between June and August open for reservation. Each weekend is limited to a single group of at least three people and no more than six, with a minimum age of 8 years old.  Younger children may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Prices start at $202 per person for Fort Nisqually members and $225 for non-members, with a 50 percent deposit to reserve your weekend. Registration closes on May 28, 2024 so book your weekend now at FortNisqually.org!
