Wallowa County Museum Review

Joseph's volunteer-run museum has a small but poignant collection of artifacts and photographs chronicling the flight of the Nez Perce, a series of battles against the U.S. Army that took place in the late 1870s. Built as a bank in 1888, the building was robbed in 1896, an event commemorated by a number of the museum's artifacts, including a massive old safe and some yellowing newspaper accounts.
