Can you believe this was gonna be demolished to be a freaking parking lot? LUCKILY, some good…read morecitizens of Walla Walla prevented this from happening, by saving the Kirkman House Museum and restoring it as a museum, to tell the story of the Kirkman Family. We visited the Kirkman House Museum, which was such a memorable part of our time in Walla Walla. Located downtown, it's an italianate-style, brick house that was built in the late 1800's, during when Walla Walla was the biggest city in the northwest! Designed and built by William Kirkman, he came to Walla Walla to make his fortune from the agricultural industry, becoming a well-established businessman in Walla Walla. The house later became an apartment building where they added on to it on the backside and another entrance, and then it was proposed to be demolished into a parking lot. Now, it serves as a museum, showcasing the Kirkman Family's lifestyle and contribution to Walla Walla, as well as the Adam West Library! In fact, that's how most of the museum gets visitors, for they come here to see Batman's corridors. Yes, the Batman/Adam West Library is really cool, especially because the bookcase slides and becomes a hidden wall where Batman slides down the pole! And it's awesome that the city of Walla Walla is so proud to have famous Walla Walla native, Adam West as their local hero, with memorabilia of his time in Batman and in Family Guy, in addition to his younger days at Lakeside School and so forth. (They even have an Adam West Day every year in town where everyone dresses up as Batman!) But I implore you to check out the other parts of the house, which I find more interesting. You get a real sense of what Walla Walla was like back in the day, based off the lifestyle of the Kirkman Family. There's even a room that shows old maps and pictures of what the city used to look like in the late 1800's when it was the most prosperous city in the area. The rooms are all decorated to that time period, and you can see some original furnishings that the family owned like the piano, photographs, decorative figurines, etc... Plus, Fanny Ann's room is haunted, so there's that. I hope for everyone to visit and support the Kirkman House Museum, which is a wonderful attraction site of this town. The non-profit that runs the museum is all volunteer-based. Admission is $7 and they do host fun events, like murder mystery dinners and Victorian tea time. A true charm to Walla Walla!

I didn't know that the Country Store was a consignment center, or a limited liability corporation…read more I just knew that it was a large white box off of Isaacs called Country Store. It's a thrift store, but emphasizes the obsolete and terrifying over the practical. There's a whole lot of ancient computer equipment (mostly inkjet printers for which I highly doubt one could find cartridges in 2009), cheap novels, regional Christian LPs from the seventies that I don't have the heart to buy, and fairly non-threatening paintings in non-threatening frames. It's relatively well-organized and the woman at the counter is quite helpful. She also has remarkable hearing, given that we quietly said something about the foosball table from thirty feet away and she yelled an answer back at us. The first floor gets a 3/5 maybe for being an okay consignment store with nothing I really wanted or needed. The second store is a solid ?/5, or perhaps both a 5/5 and a 1/5 simultaneously (note that this is not a 3/5). Before one ventures upstairs, they're greeted by a warning about how one shops the upstairs of the Country Store at their own risk, as there's no air conditioning and Walla Walla does get quite hot in July and August. I think that this warning can be extended year-round, as the upstairs' content is every bit as alarming as 107-degree heat (in which I wouldn't shop at the Country Store, or anywhere, really). The upstairs area is a sea of clothing with plastic Christmas trees. There is no organization or logic to the summit of the Country Store; it's a seemingly endless assortment of piles upon piles of clothing of questionable origin, mostly scattered about on the floor or perhaps placed strategically by some means utterly beyond me. When we encountered the room full of vacuums and carpet shampooers, my boss got frightened and we left, having concluded that the Country Store was a thing and we may have survived it. Unfortunately, Yelp isn't going to be pleased with me if I leave this with no star rating. And I honestly have no idea what to give the Country Store, since I've never bought anything from it, I'm terrified of it, and enthusiastically recommend that one takes in the second floor at least once if someone ever tricks them into coming to Walla Walla. A 3/5 just sounds unenthused, so I really can't do that. 1/5 is too harsh. I'm leaving it at 5/5 because it's fascinating, but I don't get out much and I'm fairly certain I'll encounter something infinitely crazier in the future. At that point I might truly feel the 3/5 and all will be well.

We have been to a ton of children's museums, and I feel like this one could be the example by which all other small towns design their children's museums! This appears to be an old house that was renovated to be a place for kids and families together. They have a lovely, large gathering room that looks to be for both arts and crafts as well as a central place for birthday parties. Throughout the remainder of the house are mini themed rooms that facilitate both running around and creative play. The place is awesome and works great for kids that are very young all the way to preteens! The rooms include a kitchen set up, a room focused on dental hygiene, a room with blocks, Lincoln logs and toys for smaller kiddos, as well as a room with a full climbing wall that lead to a small slide, a room with black lights and a wall with types with magnets on them that allow you to build tunnels for Boston go down. There's also a room with water and sand where the kids can build as well as a full outdoor set up complete with a small fire truck, a boatAnd a life-size TV. We came on a rather gloomy day in February When there were a good number of people here...and I have to imagine this place is absolutely crazy in the summertime! It was something like four dollars per kid to get in, and we spent a good two hours here exploring and playing. After spending some time here, we are absolutely in love with this place. It's not a fancy museum like you see in large cities, but it facilitates a lot of creativityIt was a great place for the kids to runoff some energy and explore a little bit.
