Dedication of Fort Nisqually monument at Point Defiance Park. Group of approximately 30 men, women, and one girl wearing period costumes, circa 1840's. The woman to the left in modern dress is Miss Kathryn Hurley, Jubilee princess of the YMBC air show, who unveiled the monument. The monument recognizes the establishment of the original fort in 1833 and its reconstruction in 1934 by the YMBC. It is the first step in further development of the historic site. (T.
