Fred Stine represents one of Walla Walla's best “rags to riches” stories, he built the largest brick hotel in the Washington Territory and set up a lucrative blacksmith shop serving the needs of gold miners, Oregon Trail pioneers, and the military at Fort Walla Walla.
Located on the grounds of a 19th-century military fort, Fort Walla Walla Museum provides an exciting and educational experience for the whole family.
