“When I take time to reflect, strong impressions and emotions about this town rise to the surface. Walla Walla and its sense of community is positively a part of who I am. It’s that the big horizon here seems so filled with clarity and possibility, and the community so brimming with goodwill, intelligence and enterprise. I see almost endless wheat fields, hearty vineyards and colorful produce stands. I see whimsical sculpture on downtown streets, talented chefs in restaurant kitchens...and you can ride your bike anywhere here, day or night, city street or county road.” Dr. George Bridges, President, Whitman College

History of the Valley Soldiers, Pioneers & Indian People Carrying the Past into the Future at Fort Walla Walla Museum Long known as “The Cradle of Northwest History,” the Walla Walla region maintains a relationship to the past that helps provide its distinctiveness for today’s visitors. At Fort Walla Walla Museum, the mission of discovering, preserving and sharing that heritage is an ongoing task. Through a 17-building pioneer settlement, four large exhibit halls, several special events and more than 40 Living History performances each year, the Museum annually beckons travelers from all 50 states and more than 35 countries. The Museum also features a new Entry Hall & Exhibit Galleries with many new exhibits, Lewis & Clark in Wallah Wallah Country diorama, military displays, new restrooms, and expanded Museum Store.
much consternation among the local inhabitants. Soon thereafter another form of contact came to the region. Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, as well as other missionaries, first arrived at Hudson’s Bay Company trading posts before beginning their ministry among the Indians. Intercultural difficulties often marked their stay in the region. Many Indian people died when a measles epidemic brought in by evergrowing numbers of pioneers along the Oregon Trail reached Whitman Mission. Mistrust of the Whitmans by some of the Cayuse people led to further tragedy. Nearly a decade of occasional hostilities followed, prior to the signing of treaties in 1855 and 1856 near what would become the center of Walla Walla. A permanent U.S. military Fort Walla Walla was opened in 1858. The final battles of the regional Indian Wars involved soldiers posted at the fort.
History began in this region when the Lewis & Clark expedition first passed through what is now Walla Walla County in 1805. Nevertheless, those they met in the region—the Cayuse, Palouse, Walla Walla, and Wanapum peoples—lived here for countless generations in harmony with the seasons and the bounty their world provided them. That first contact set the stage for a relationship between regional Indian people and the United States that still continues. The Museum portrays this ongoing story in a major exhibit entitled Through War and Peace: American Military and the People of the Homeland Tribes.
With peace, the number of newcomers into the area boomed. Farming pioneers were followed by gold miners passing through the region on their way to the Idaho gold fields in the 1860s. A community grew up around the fort and agriculture was established as the economic foundation. Trains, electricity, telephones, automobiles and airplanes also helped shape the area. Fires and floods sometimes devastated the community, but the resilience of the people served to rebuild the community better than before.
Following the great explorers, came the people of the fur trade era. Occasional conflicts first arose between some individuals with the Northwest Company and Hudson’s Bay Company and Indian people they encountered. The traders’ Fort Walla Walla along the Columbia River existed nearly four decades, but caused
After the turn of the century, a military presence was no longer necessary. Except for a brief period during World War I, the post was abandoned in 1910. By 1922, the buildings of the fort had been turned over to the Veterans Bureau, forerunner of the modern Veterans Administration. The Jonathan M. Wainwright

Happy 150th Birthday Walla Walla! This year, 2012, is the sesquicentennial year of celebration in Walla Walla. On January 11, 1862 the Washington Territorial Legislature approved the city’s charter, making this the 150th year for the city. According to information from historian Dan Clark, for this area, 1862 was a year of firsts. These achievements included the establishment of the first public school in Walla Walla, the organization of the first fire fighters and purchase of the first fire engine, as well as the completion of the Mullen Road, linking the area to Fort Benton, Montana.
The celebration continues into the summer with the 1862-historic theme to the annual 4th of July in the Park. Vendors are encouraged to wear period costumes, alongside music and games that might have been seen in a community festival 150 years ago.
The festivities continue with the Victorian Ball September 22.

Art on the Corner Art has taken a prominent place in the Walla Walla Valley. Downtown Walla Walla’s Main Street has numerous pieces of public art, including the very popular “Thoughts Discovered” by Brad Rude. A stroll along historic Main Street will take you past an assortment of thought provoking art installations in the heart of the downtown area. Some of these pieces include Squire Broel’s “Lights of the Valley,” 2003 on the northwest corner of Second and Main. This is a cast bronze lantern with lights inside. On Main St., at Third Ave., in the Baker Boyer Bank plaza, a bronze frog contemplates the fountain. “The Thinker,” 2002, by Ralph Tretheway strikes the same pose as Rodin’s famous sculpture. On Third Ave., between Main and Alder streets is “Convergences” 2004 by Ian and Jennifer Boyden, a large basalt stone wrapped with poetic text. And in front of the Walla Walla Public Library, on Alder St., is “Matilde on Her Way to the Market,” 2003 by Nano Lopez, a long-horned cow made up of many textures. The Whitman College campus also has more than 20 outdoor art installations. Some of these are “Styx,” 2002 by Deborah Butterfield, Lee Kelly’s 1978 Lava Ridge, near
Maxey Hall, several colorful totems, a serene basalt archway leading into the meditation grove in the Whitman Glen and many more. To find out more, at wallawalla.org, click on public art. You can download a pdf map of a walking tour at Whitman College and check out a downtown art tour as well. You can also get the ArtWalla Public Art Walking Tour and Coloring Book from artwalla.com to guide you through the art pieces in many places downtown. In Heritage Park on Main Street you can view “Windows on the Past,” a recent project honoring the many ethnic and cultural groups in the area in the time span of 18501950.

Walla Walla Valley Visitor Guide 15
Taste of the Valley Walla Walla County’s long agricultural history has grown and diversified to meet changing market demands. From the area’s first crop, potatoes, planted at Fort Nez Perce in 1825, to orchards, blueberries, strawberries and grapes, the area holds a bountiful harvest. While most acres are still devoted to wheat,
the area has produced peas, lettuce, asparagus, spinach, onions and more. Agriculture remains vital to the Valley, as it was in the 1800s and with continuing innovations for a future that’s just as bountiful.
Walla Walla Valley Farmers Market The mixture of families and farms is highlighted at the Walla Walla Valley Farmers Market. The Farmers Market brings the area’s variety of produce fresh from the farms to shoppers. The market is also an opportunity for an enjoyable outing and a great learning experience for the kids. There’s music while you shop as well as plenty to see and experience. The Market is made up of a wide variety of vendors, growers and artisans offering produce, hand made jewelry, soaps and much more. For information visit gowallawallafarmersmarket.com.

Walla Walla Sweets—Washington —Washington State’s Official Vegetable Walla Walla Sweets--Washington State’s Official Vegetable Walla Walla Sweet Onions have been grown in the area for more than 110 years, the mild flavor of the onion made it a favorite, with increasing popularity and availability through the years.
Corsica
Designated as the official vegetable of Washington State in 2007, the Walla Walla Sweet Onion season runs from about the third week of June through
September. Right in the middle of the sweet onion harvest, the area hosts the Sweet Onion Festival in Downtown Walla Walla along Main Street, in July. The festival is right beside the Walla Walla Valley Farmers Market that weekend, amplifying the excitement. Because they have a higher water content than most onions, Walla Walla Sweets have a delicate flavor but a shorter shelf life. For more information and Walla Walla Sweet Onion recipes and tips, visit sweetonions.org.
More than a century ago on the island of Corsica, off the West coast of Italy, a French soldier, Peter Pieri located a type of Italian sweet onion seed that produced a mild variety of onion, when he later came to America he brought it to the Walla Walla Valley where it has flourished ever since.
Sueno hecho en realidad “A dream made into reality”
Calvi is a city on the French island of Corsica and the biggest tourist centre of the island proper.
