Description


The purpose of this administrative history is to explain why and how the Whitman Mission National Historic Site developed. Particular emphasis will be placed on management policies including who made the decisions, why, and what effect those decisions had on the park. Topics relevant to management, such as administration, cultural and natural resources, visitor facilities, and community relations will also be addressed. Finally, this administrative history is designed to provide current National Park Service managers with the historical background necessary for future decision-making.
