A key aspect of our Education Outreach Program was digitizing our unique Sorbian (Wendish) collection and uploading it to eHive. This makes the collection accessible to people worldwide, with entries listed in bilingual text.
Thanks to a grant from Inland Rail, we were able to purchase costume dolls, textiles, and ethnic Sorbian Wendish Easter eggs, which we showcased as part of ‘Walla Walla’s Wendish Past’ to the students of Walla Walla Public School last year. Soon, these artifacts will be on display locally for both residents and tourists, sharing the story of ‘The Trek’ and Walla Walla’s unique migration heritage.
