Fort Spokane, Lincoln County, Washington

In the late 1800's the United States Military had a fort at the confluence of the Spokane River and the Columbia River. This is the view the soldiers would have had back then looking from the fort to the north accross the Spokane River.

After the military closed the fort, it became a school for Native Americans. The school was closed after only a few years.

There is little that remains of the fort. A few buildings and lots of footings of buildings long since torn down.

It is a beautiful site. Information and pictures can be found here -- Fort Spokane.
