Whitman Mission is a very popular field trip destination. To guarantee
a good experience for everybody we ask that groups make reservations. Please
see the Field Trip Guide for details. Special demonstrations are available
about the Cayuse culture, the Oregon Trail, and spinning. These demonstrations
can be requested when making the reservation. Each demonstration takes approximately
20 minutes. To further aid teachers a museum activity sheet is provided
in the Whitman Mission Teacher's Guide.
Whitman Mission National Historic Site preserves the site of the Whitman's
buildings and Mill Pond, a short segment of the Oregon Trail and the grave
where the victims are buried. A paved trail leads visitors around the site,
passing the remains mentioned above. Native grasses have reclaimed the land
and give visitors a sense of how the area looked in the 1840s. |
