State Heritage Site - Oregon, United States
Built in 1856 to regulate the eastern border of the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation, Fort Yamhill represented a time of transition for the people of the Northwest. The fort served to ease tensions, protect both populations, and control traffic between them. It is one of the best archaeologically preserved forts in the Northwest from the mid-19th century and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
