Fort Langley’s Storehouse
Fort Langley
In Fort Langley’s courtyard stands an old storehouse. Barrels and a crate remind us of the goods kept here long ago. Today, people visit this place to learn about its history.
Did you know?
This storehouse is the only building left from the old fort. Other buildings were rebuilt.
Look together
What could the barrels and the crate have held?
An idea to try
Imagine three things to store safely out of the rain.

A little more to discover
Fort Langley was a Hudson’s Bay Company trading post. Its storehouse survives from the historic fort; other buildings were reconstructed. The place’s history includes trade with First Nations and colonial expansion, reaching far beyond this courtyard.
