Title: George Washington and his
Legacy
Speaker:
MSGT Jeff Dacus (U.S. Marine Corps, Retired)
After
World War II, the Vancouver Barracks went from being the Pacific
Northwest’s premier Regular Army post to a military backwater.
This change had major changes in the local community that
are still felt today.
From the late 1940s to 2011, the Vancouver Barracks
become the home to many Army Reserve and National Guard units.
Units that drew their soldiers from the local community.
Who were the major units at the Vancouver Barracks?
And what significant activities happened there?

Title:
Photographers at the Vancouver Barracks
Speaker:
MAJ Jeff Daviss (U.S. Army, Retired)
From the earliest days of the Vancouver Barracks, government-sponsored
artists created pictures and engravings, documenting the history
of the installation. In
addition to official images, private individuals took pictures
of the daily life of soldiers and their families.
They ranged from many anonymous photographers, to
soldiers, to General’s Daughter, Laura Lee Otis, and, “That Man
Marcell!” Come learn
about these people, and see examples of their work!
