Fort Walla Walla Museum presents Living History and Museum After Hours

On Sunday October 20 Gary Lentz will portray William Tye, an assistant conductor working for Dorsey Baker’s Walla Walla & Columbia River Railroad. The presentation will begin at 2 p.m. During their visit, guests can see one of the locomotives William Tye would have operated. The Blue Mountain is the last existing narrow-gauge engine from Dorsey Baker’s WW&CRR. If weather permits, William Tye will show visitors the components of the train and describe the missing pieces that would have allowed the train to operate.

Museum After Hours: Greenland Not for Sale

Geologist, professor and author Bob Carson will be returning to Fort Walla Walla Museum to give a free presentation on Thursday, October 24 at 5:00 p.m. in the museum’s grand hall.
