The apple orchard at Whitman Mission National Historic Site.
The apple trees planted by the Whitmans are long gone.
In the 1950's a new apple orchard was planted. No list was found of the types of apples that Whitman planted, so the following "old fashioned" varieties were chosen:
Baldwin
Northern Spy
Spitzenberg
Winesap
Wagner apples were also considered for the orchard, but were not available at planting time.
