Fort Walla Walla Museum

It was well done. The main lodge is very nicely decorated and easy to navigate. They have some nice displays of frontier life. There are five or six other buildings with full sized horses (plastic but nicely painted) pulling plows and other farm machinery. Then there are old buildings moved to the site and restored. There is a playground. Bring a picnic for a nice day out.

A recreated pioneer village museum that shows what life looked like in the 1800s. It’s one of the best places to learn the region’s history. Must see specifically if you’re living in Washington.

You can tell a lot of time and effort has been put into this museum to make it a great experience for all ages. Multiple buildings to explore, as well as outside areas. Great place to take children, and adults alike, to learn history of the area and what it was like living and working in the 1800s. Friendly and knowledgeable employees/volunteers. Impressive displays with period photography and items, to go along with explanations of it all. Check calendars of events for special things going on, including scavenger hunts and speakers. Great gift shop as well.

One of the best museums I have been to. Very very simple but interesting ,even for kids.Its well maintained and not boring at all. Has lot of history ,very nice displays and yet not tiring. The kids loved the scavenger hunt ! Nice playgrounds for kids to have fun just incase they get bored. Wish they had a small cafeteria kind of place too 😊

I enjoyed this place so much! I love history, especially about the area I live. There are over 20 buildings to see and more artifacts than you can count. It's focus is the history of the Walla Walla area from when the first settlers arrived until the 1960's. The agricultural achievements, interacting with Indian tribes from all over Eastern Washington, to the forming of the original government, it's all here. There are video interactive displays. ( Do the one for the penitentiary!) My favorite part was the Pioneer village. A collection of real buildings that were donated to, and moved to the museum. They are so cool! Hard to imagine living in such small places! I grew up in, and still live in the Pacific Northwest. My dad took me to every museum and dam we could find. I did the same with my daughter. Places like this create lifelong family memories. I highly recommend it. Admission prices are $12 adult. $10 senior or student. $5 kids 6-12. Free kids 5 and under.
