Pearson Air Museum

It’s Christmas morning and the sun is rising over Mount Hood. It is a glorious morning here at the #NationalPark! Pearson Air Museum, which is in the distance, is wrapped in fog making it barely discernible. #Christmas2025 #ChristmasDay #FortVancouver @VancouverUS

Happy Christmas Eve from everyone here at #FortVancouver! All #employees, #volunteers, #partners, and #friends wish you only the best! #Christmas #ChristmasEve #Community #USArmy #history #airplanes #VancouverBarracks

This #eagle enjoys spending his time in a Douglas fir about 12 feet up in the air just steps away from the Pearson Air Museum. DYK that #FortVancouver is a major flyover for raptors and other birds on the west coast? This is a great place to #birdwatch! #nature #birds #AirMuseum

This year, 2025, is the 100th anniversary of Pearson Air Field which is part of the #nationalpark (#FortVancouverNHS). For over 160 years the #USArmy had a post here and one of the earliest #Army and later #civilian air fields! @USArmy #history #PNW

Pearson Air Museum, which is part of #FortVancouver NHS, is a wonderful #opportunity to connect with the early days of #flight in the #PNW. There is so much to #learn and do at this #NationalPark. #education #USArmy #history

We have had so much #rain in #Washington and #Oregon the last few weeks that it seems a good time to share this photo which was taken above Pearson Air Museum. The plane’s contrails in this beautiful sky remind us of sunny days to come. In the meantime, be #safe! #TakeCare!

DYK? This year at #FortVancouver the National Park Service commemorated the 100th anniversary of Pearson Field. Over 1,000 members of the public attended the #soldiers bivouac! #History #Education

In 2025 the National Park Service commemorated the #centennial of #Pearson Airfield at #FortVancouver. Come see the #child #friendly, #accessible @UsArmy DH-4B #aircraft designed and created by #volunteers which was unveiled this year! #partnership #community #history

Look to your left. Look to your right. That’s a lot of busses! Close to 1500 second and third graders marched along with bands at the Children’s Cultural Parade which is made possible by students, teachers, School Districts, the City of Vancouver and the National Park Service!

Yep, the parade begins at Pearson Air Museum and works it’s way up and through the national park! The Children’s Cultural Parade is wonderful! @VancouverUS @VancouverSD @evergreenps @goparks @vancouverfamily
