(Whitman Mission National Historic Site in 1998)
The National
Park Service took over the operations of the site in 1940 (although
the bill to create the National Monument was signed in 1936). Since
then, archaeological excavations have pinpointed the exact location
and size of the structures that stood at Waiilatpu over 150 years
ago. The millpond, once used by Whitman to
power a gristmill has been restored as has much of the native vegetation
which would have been found in Whitman's day.
