Activity Details
Explore a dark chapter of Palouse history with local historian Dr. Dave Beine on an interpretive bus trip to the site of a horrific murder. In late September 1858, this location became the scene where, following the defeat of Col. Steptoe and under the directive to “subdue the Indian tribes of eastern Washington by any means necessary,” Col. George Wright had Chief Qualchan and six other Indigenous individuals hanged after they had come in to surrender.
