Who is the LCNPA?

The Lewis & Clark National Park Association (LCNPA) was established in 1963 as a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization for the purpose of supporting National Park Service educational and interpretive activities at Fort Clatsop. The LCNPA receives no public funds, nor is it funded by any private endowment.

Throughout our 62-year history, the LCNPA has funded various key projects for the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. Our contributions include purchasing land for the park, funding the construction of trails and exhibits, publishing books, and supporting educational activities like field trips and living history.

Your Purchases Support Programs

Every sale in the Fort Clatsop Bookstore allows us to operate and provide funding for activities here at the park. You support the Fort with every purchase!
