Hanford: Visit Nez Perce National Historical Park

Nez Perce National Historical Park interprets the culture and history of the Nez Perce people.

NPS

Since time immemorial, the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) people have relied on the valleys, prairies, mountains, and plateaus of the Inland Northwest for their way of life. This area includes southeastern Washington where the Hanford Site is today. Extremely resilient, the Nimiipuu survived the settling of the United States and adapted to a changed world. You can learn about their story at Nez Perce National Historical Park. The park consists of 38 places spread across Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington that are important to the history and culture of the Nimiipuu. There are a couple sites within a few hours’ drive from Hanford including the Old Chief Joseph Gravesite (167 miles or 269 km) in northeastern Oregon and a visitor center in Spalding, Idaho (150 miles or 240 km).
