“We open this Historian with an article and photo journal of a project now underway in the Hoopa Valley: the restoration of the adobe structure that once housed military officers stationed at Fort Gaston. The Hoopa Valley Historical Alliance is working to transform the structure into an interpretive center, and, as such, a place of healing. Their story and efforts are described here by HCHS research assistant Morgan Harvey. This photograph of the Hoopa Valley Adobe was taken by the author.”
