The Frenchtown Historic site lies within the original homeland of the Walla Walla and Cayuse Tribes. French-Canadian voyageurs settled here with their Métis families beginning in 1823. In 1855, the area was also the site of the Battle of Walla Walla. Points of interest include the St. Rose Cemetery and a cabin believed to be the oldest example of French-Canadian construction in Washington State.The Frenchtown Historic site lies within the original homeland of the Walla Walla and Cayuse Tribes.
