Enjoy a day of free admission to the museum! The Museum Open House is a chance for residents to come see what’s new at the old fort— and to mark the official re-opening of the Pioneer Village for the warmer months!

With five exhibit halls and a 17-structure pioneer settlement, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Learn about the territorial prison, horse-era agricultural practices, the history of the Forts Walla Walla, and more.

Participate in our month-long April Fool's Scavenger Hunt! There will be modern items hidden in some of the museum’s exhibits, and young and old eyes alike can work together to find these historical inaccuracies. As you discover stories from the past, from the Oregon Trail to the horse-powered wheat harvest, kids can record things that are out of place. If you can list enough of them, you will win a small prize in the Museum Store! A fun way to talk about the exhibits and identify some things that don’t quite belong.

Bring a picnic and stroll the beautiful green grounds while rubbing shoulders with history.
