This fine historic site showcases the original buildings from a US Army installation that existed here from its inception in 1858 until 1910 – everything from the officer's quarters to the quartermaster's stable. The grounds now house the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Slightly west of here is the Fort Walla Walla Museum , a pioneer village of 17 historic buildings, including a blacksmith shop, an 1867 schoolhouse, log cabins and a railway depot, arranged around a central meadow. On a hill above the village, the fort's old cavalry stables house the museum proper, with collections of farm implements, ranching tools and what could be the world's largest plastic replica of a mule team.
