Ground Marker on Officers Row | Additional Description:
World War II
At the start of World War II, Vancouver emerged as a major steel shipbuilding center with supporting construction industries. President Franklin Roosevelt visited several times while the famed activist-composer, Woody Guthrie, found work in nearby shipyards. Army activities began to shift to Camp Lewis and the glory days of Vancouver Barracks began to fade. The post remains today as an active Army training center for the region.
