Buffalo Soldiers at Fort Walla Walla

For Black History Month, the Museum is looking at the information we have about the Buffalo Soldier groups associated with Fort Walla Walla. In early 2021, the museum acquired a pattern 1884 dress coat and pattern 1881 dress helmet for 24th Infantry. Stationed at Fort Walla Walla in 1899, Troop M of the 24th Infantry was one of the groups of Buffalo Soldiers that served here.
