Fort Columbia was established in 1896 to provide defense for the mouth of the Columbia River, along with Fort Stevens and Fort Canby. Located on Chinook Point, the site covers a total of 593 acres and includes 12 original buildings constructed between 1896-1904. Most notably, the original army barracks. Several concrete bunkers still stand as well, with howitzers to boot.
