Fort Worden is a learning laboratory where the site serves as a focal point for exploring our place in the world. As a center for life-long learning, it represents a confluence of creativity and experimentation. A hallmark of the park is its commitment to cooperation and stewardship—with resident organizations, the community of Port Townsend, and the environment. Through activities in the arts, environmental education, local history, recreation, stewardship and sustainability, the park addresses the whole person.
