The Dine We Must Event at Fort Nisqually was an absolutely delightful experience. We enjoyed hands on projects of the era with expert volunteers, a wonderful meal followed by authentic desserts cooked on both open flame and wood burning ovens, and time with the staff adorned in period clothing. We will be back next year!

Join us at Fort Nisqually for an evening filled with Northwest cuisine, drinks, entertainment, and Victorian finery.
“Dine we must, and we may as well dine elegantly…,” a direct quote from Isabella Beeton, an influential British author, columnist, and chef of her time (b. 1836; d. 1865). Dine We Must farm-to-table dinner is a whimsical night full of culinary delights. As you visit and explore the Fort’s historic buildings, enjoy appetizers, and a cash bar supporting the Fort Nisqually Foundation. Enjoy appetizers, partake in a game, make a 19th-century craft, and take a few photos before transitioning to dinner and music. The evening will conclude with a sampling of desserts baked in our period kitchen, cooked by our wonderfully talented volunteers.
Dress is upscale PNW to cocktail attire. Living history clothing is always welcome here at the Fort. Note this is an outdoor dinner and our dining area and pathways have uneven surfaces of grass and gravel. Please dress for the weather and walking on uneven surfaces.
