Whitman Mission National Historic Site Long-Range Interpretive Plan
National Park Service. 2006. Whitman Mission National Historic Site Long-Range Interpretive Plan. Long-Range Interpretive Plan. National Park Service
The following purpose state-ments summarize the reasons why Whitman Mission National Historic Site was established. They are based on the site's enabling legislation and legislative history. Purpose state-ments are important to planning, because they are basic to all other assumptions about the national park site and the ways in which it should be used and managed. The specific purpose of Whitman Mission National Historic Site is to: • Preserve and maintain the site of the mission and school for American Indians established by Marcus and Narcissa Whitman between 1836-1847 along the Walla Walla River at Waiilatpu, and to preserve and maintain the memo-rials to their lives. • Relate for the public the events that took place at the mission site and its role in western migration and settlement along the Oregon Trail.
