Community members and supporters have donated more than 54,000 artifacts, photographs, and documents related to this region's history. While most of the 60,000 cubic feet of climate-controlled storage is full, the Services and Facilities Enhancement Project includes plans to create additional space for regional treasures.
Due to current space limitations, the museum is accepting additional material on a limited basis. Please call 509-525-7703 or email info@fwwm.org to make an appointment before bringing an object to donate. Only the executive director or curator may accept donations.
We are currently looking for the following:
Items related to Fort Walla Walla
U.S. military items dating from 1850 to 1910
Items related to regional Indian Peoples
Territorial period items from the region
Pre-1950 city directories
Items produced by or associated with early regional businesses
Old regional photographs featuring businesses & activities
1960s Walla Walla County Metsker Book
Old regional journals, diaries, letters, and recipes
Items related to the regional women’s suffrage movement
Items related to the short-lived regional KKK
Items related to the presidential visits to the area
Items related to Dorsey Baker’s Walla Walla & Columbia River Railroad
Items related to early regional police and fire fighting history
Thank you for thinking of the Museum!
