Walla Walla has long been known as the “Cradle of Pacific Northwest History.” By creating connections with this history, Fort Walla Walla Museum provides a sense of belonging to both long-term local residents and families that move to the area. At Fort Walla Walla Museum more than 50,000 artifacts and photographs as well as a Living History series and other events and programs tell the story of the many people who have inhabited the Walla Walla Valley. The Museum strives to continue to learn about the region’s heritage, to share this heritage through exhibits, events, publications, and other programs, and to keep it safe for future generations.
