Uncover local history at the Stubblefield Cemetery! Located 5 miles southeast of Walla Walla and active from 1863 to 1920, this cemetery faced neglect and mistreatment for decades - until restoration efforts breathed into it new life. On this tour, led by the Walla Walla Historic Cemeteries Board of Directors, we will see firsthand the results of those efforts, both recent and ongoing. We will also hear perspectives on the cemetery from a wide range of professional backgrounds - including a historian, professor, genealogical researcher, retired cartographer, and GPS professional.
