Marked by this memorial staff and a few foundations, the Whitman Mission story is one of America. A young girl's dream of Oregon; faith amid hardship and loss, and the difficulty of cultural exchange which ultimately lead to the tragic massacre at the Mission. Marcus and Narcissa Whitman set out for Oregon in 1836, Narcissa being the first of two women on the Oregon Trail, and spent the next 11 years ministering to the Cayuse and Oregon Trail pioneers before their death in 1847.
