Today, the site and its remaining buildings are preserved as the Fort Simcoe Historical State Park. The park is situated eight miles west of modern White Swan, Washington, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and near the base of the Simcoe Mountains. This location offers visitors a chance to explore the historical site while enjoying the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Features of Fort Simcoe Historical State Park

The Fort Simcoe Historical State Park spans 200 acres on the Yakama Indian Reservation. It operates as a day-use heritage park, primarily focusing on interpretation and education. The park tells the story of mid-19th-century army life and provides insights into the lives of local Native Americans during that period.

Visitor Access at Fort Simcoe

The interpretive center, the original commander's house, and two officer's buildings, all furnished with period pieces, are open to the public from April through September, from Wednesday to Sunday. However, the original blockhouse and other recreated fort buildings are not accessible to the public. Visitors should plan their visit accordingly to make the most of their experience.
