Take a relaxing historical walk here at Whitman Mission and get sweeping views over rural Walla Walla. Talk with the helpful rangers to learn more and hear stories of the settlers and missionaries who came through here. Ranger Kate was particularly knowledgeable and helpful on our last visit. She was near the memorial pillar on the top of the hill, happily talking with visitors and telling interesting stories.

October 2020: the grounds are open dawn-dusk. Free admission. Plan on 1 hour. The visitor center building is only open Saturday & Sunday 10-3. There is also no fee. Looks pretty small with space exhibits. The grounds have 3 walking trails: There is a 1/4 mile level and paved loop with interpretive signs where the structures were. There are no remaining or rebuilt structures. There is a section of the original Oregon Trail you can walk (500 feet). The third trail leads UP to a pillar memorial to the Whitmans. This trail leads back down to a cemetery with no headstones of folks who died on the Oregon Trail & buried in a mass grave/ plot here and adjoining is the grave of the Whitmans & their adopted kids. Total for this loop which includes a moderate ascent is about 1/4 mile.

Thankfully this was open to visit and walk around learning from the many historical markers. There were maps available as well but the visitors center was closed. Clean bathrooms and running water fountains available. Great short loops to walk outside, some shaded, some hilly.

Interesting location and history. It is a small Historical Park with a small visitor center. The movie is great and the hands on exhibit in the main lobby is cool. A path takes you to the location of where the buildings of the mission were located and up to the monument and mass grave. A restored section of the Oregon Trail runs the length of the park

Such a peaceful place! Nice lake and plenty of area to walk. The monument at the top of the hill is perfect for watching sunsets. One of my favorite all-time places in the area.
