The museum features a pioneer village and five buildings filled with exhibits including a life size diorama of Lewis & Clark exchanging gifts with Yellept, a leader of the Wallulapum or Walla Walla people, plus a related exhibit featuring the chain of translation with original period artifacts. Nearby is the Whitman Mission National Historic Site which offers details about the impact of the western expansion of the United States on the Homeland Tribes. All sites are in the picturesque Walla Walla Valley which offers miles of paved and gravel roads framed by acres of farmland and vineyards. With more than 130 wineries calling the area home, Walla Walla’s historic and walkable downtown features tasting rooms with world-class wines along with unique restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and cultural events.
