Living History portrayals in May at Fort Walla Walla Museum

The Living History troupe on Sunday afternoons portrays people from Walla Walla’s rich history, individuals such as Josephine Wolfe, a famed brothel owner and German immigrant in the late 1800s. She starts off the May portrayals on May 5, followed by May 12th’s Charles Tung, a turn-of-the-century translator and merchant in the sizeable Chinese community in Walla Walla then despite discriminatory laws. On May 19, Matilda Sager Delaney from the 1830-40s appears to speak of surviving the Whitman Mission; and on May 26, John Gray, a composite character whose bent is the natural world as Walla Walla once lived and breathed.
