General Operating Support

  Artifacts                                                              

  The Fort Nisqually Foundation provided funding for the

   professional restoration of the Fort's

   historic 19th century buggy. This mode of

   transportation would have been typical of

   what Dr. William Fraser Tolmie would have used in the     

   19th century around Fort Nisqually. 

Children's Activities

A highlight of each year's Brigade Encampment is a Punch and Judy performance for children of all ages. Funding from the Foundation allowed our Punch performer, Kelsey Boyce, to attend advanced training in London, England. Her shows continue to enthrall visitors year after year.

  Building Preservation

  The Foundation provided funding for the restoration of      the 1850 Granary building in 2014. The restoration     of the 1855 Factor's House won national (American     Association of State and Local History) and state        (Washington Museums Association) awards for           preservation excellence in 2004. 

Events

For the past twenty years the Foundation has provided financial support to the Candlelight Tour, Brigade Encampment, Christmas Regale and all the Living History Special Event Days throughout the year.
