An erstwhile stop on the Oregon Trail, this is the site of what is widely known as the Whitman massacre: in 1847 white missionary Marcus Whitman and a dozen others were murdered by Cayuse Indians. This potent historic site 7 miles west of Walla Walla contains a museum and marked sites and monuments indicating where the mission once stood.
