Fort Borst (1856-????) - The blockhouse was erected by Captain Francis Goff and five soldiers for storage of grain needed by troops engaged in the Washington Indian Wars.
After the Indian Wars, Joseph Borst bought the blockhouse from the government for $500 and used it as a grainery. Originally the blockhouse was located on the Chehalis River just beyond the mouth of the Skookumchuck River. In 1919 it was moved to Riverside Park and in 1922, to the present site at Fort Borst Park.
Location: exit 82 off I5, Centralia, Washington
