Our upcoming Schmidt House History Talk is titled “The Whitman Mission & the Oregon Trail”.
About Schmidt House History Talks
Join us each month for a free hour-long talk on social or natural history, each presented by a recognized expert. All talks will be at noon on a specified Thursday at the Schmidt House in Tumwater. First come, first seated until capacity is reached. Doors will open for seating and refreshments at 11:45am. History Talks usually run for one hour and are completed by 1:00pm.
About The Whitman Mission and the Oregon Trail
The Oregon National Historic Trail does not pass through the Whitman Mission just west of Walla Walla, even though the first emigrants traveled that way. The original route to the Mission has been undocumented for more than 170 years. The story of finding that route through evidence in trail documents and field research is presented by Dave Welch, long-time member, officer, and current chair of the mapping and marking committee of the Oregon-California Trails Association.
