Just as today’s replica Fort Clatsop is a legacy dedicated to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the photos on this page preserve the legacy of the old, pre-fire fort. They also honor old technologies such as emulsion film and Apple Quicktime Virtual Reality. The latter has all but disappeared from the Web, no longer supported by today’s major browsers. Unfortunately, the original film transparencies and digital image files have also been lost. Thus, we present here as best we can, a virtual tour of Fort Clatsop from the ashes of 1990’s technologies.
