Description


Every once in a while we still get visitors to Whitman Mission NHS who share memories. Oten they comment on the appearance of the land at the time, the adobe bricks from some of the missuion buildings still visible despite the grasses. Taht may have been all that was visible to the naked untrained eye, but to the archaeologist, the ground still holds much information about Whitman’s Mission and mission life of the 1830’s and 1840’s.
