Volunteer Opportunities
We are never so useful as when we serve others. Volunteers devote considerable time and energy helping the Museum meet its goal of preserving and sharing Walla Walla regional heritage.
You can help carry the past into the future!
Take a look at our Volunteer Handbook.

Call Don Locati (509-525-7703) or email info@fortwallawallamuseum.org if you're interested in being a Museum volunteer.
