Living History
Our performances bring history to life with reenactors portraying real people from Walla Walla's past.
Living Historians aim beyond a textbook presentation of the past, providing a multi-sensory experience.
Organized in 1998 by Walla Walla City Council member Barbara Clark and her husband, Dan, the company has grown from approximately a dozen authentic characters to more than 50 from the 1800s onward.
The troupe’s goal is to bring museum exhibits to life with live presentations every week from April through October, telling visitors dramatic stories about the lives of a variety of Walla Wallans, the issues of their day, and allowing visitors to question the characters about their lives and times.
Performances take place on Sundays at 2 p.m. The cost is admission to the Museum; members are admitted for free.
Fort Walla Walla Museum may photograph, film, or videotape visitors for educational and promotional purposes. By visiting the Museum, you consent to the use of your likeness, voice, or video image for these purposes.
