Fort Nisqually 1843 Second Site – Aerial Photo

The Fort was again moved in 1843 to be closer to fresh water. The site was about one mile east of the 1833 location, on a prairie, on the south bank of Sequalitchew Creek. The relocated fort was not re-fortified until 1848 when it was enclosed in a stockade and two sturdy bastions were built.
