Fort Walla Walla Museum and Baker Boyer Bank invite you to mark the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Walla Walla & Columbia River Railroad with an admission-free, fun-packed day at the museum.
The museum will open at 10:00 a.m., with the anniversary ceremony scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. The first 1,000 guests will receive free food vouchers up to $10 per person, commemorative coins, and tote bags.
The "Rawhide Railroad" turned Walla Walla’s wheat into a global commodity. It moved our crops beyond the valley and helped establish Washington as an agricultural powerhouse. This event is an opportunity to celebrate a significant achievement for our state, and we encourage guests to discover the history of the only surviving WW&CR railroad locomotive, the Blue Mountain.
