Fort Walla Walla Museum is a walking museum located on 17 acres, and is a must-see for visitors.

The Entrance Building features several galleries, including one for rotating special exhibits, and an admission-free Museum Store filled with books and heritage gifts. On the lower level of the grounds is a Pioneer Village with 17 buildings, many of them furnished, for guests to explore. There are more than 40 living history performances every year that take place in the village. The Museum also hosts additional activities, classes, and events—like the free Museum After Hours presentation series, which features thought-provoking topics on everything from history to conservation.

Very Well Curated Museum
We visited on a rainy day in early June. We were impressed by how many artifacts the museum had to see in the main building as well as some of the out buildings out back. We even were able to listen to a Living History Talk by someone who acted as if they were one of the locals in the area in the 1800s recounting their adventures. Just fabulous. Pair this museum with nearby Whitman Mission Historic Site and you'll have a great full day in Walla Walla.

Fun and educational family experience.
This museum is historically very interesting with a lot to see. It's appropriate for younger kids and makes for a fun family outing. Admission is quite reasonable. You can easily spend a couple of hours on this self guided, at your own pace museum. It's definitely worth the visit. Pack a lunch and enjoy the park adjacent to the museum or go to Pioneer Park which is about 15 minutes away.
