1. Dayton Historical Depot Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 38 reviews
The Dayton Historic Depot is the oldest standing depot in Washington state. Built in 1881, it was moved to its present location in 1899 by capstan and horses. After it closed in 1971, the Dayton Historical Depot Society placed the Depot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, then they refurbished the building and opened as a museum in 1981. Presently, the first floor of the depot has been re-created to appear as it did in 1899. The upstairs, where the Station Agent and his family lived, contains a Gallery that has rotating exhibits. The freight room houses a gift shop of Depot memorabilia, western history books, low technology games, and unique gifts for that special hostess or friend.

I hope you are in Dayton long enough to visit the Rail Depot. It is a piece of regional history restored for ever I hope. the docent was knowledgeable and really helped us to understand a way of life we cant imagine. Lots of antiquities...MoreI'm so glad you enjoyed your time here in Dayton. We appreciate hearing our visitors' reactions to our museum.
2. Dumas Station Wines
Overall Ratings
5 based on 18 reviews
Located at an old train station, Dumas Station produces age-worthy red wines with grapes that they grow (themselves!) in Walla Walla. They are a small, family-owned winery committed to quality, and creating some of the best wine in Washington state. Not a fancy winery with lots of equipment, the two owners of Dumas Station rely on friends & family for help with harvest, and spend the rest of the year racking the wine–one oak barrel at a time.Recent awards include 94 points for their 2006 Minnick Hills Reserve from The Wine Enthusiast and 93 points for their 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.Jay, Doug, Debbie & Ali invite you to raise a glass!Open each Saturday from 1-5 p.m. (March – December).

This small family owned and run winery is about 6 miles West of Dayton. If you're visiting Walla Walla and staying in Dayton (highly recommended), make sure and stop into Dumas.
As I said, its small, but the tasting room is really great, with some neat features (you find them)
The wines we tasted were great, full bodied Cabs and blends. There aren't too many wineries I go away with wine from as I can always find the same wines for less at wine shops. But there are wines here that you would be hard pressed (no pun intended) to find. Mostly because its small runs and they are sold out. We bought the last 3 bottles of a blend from 2015 that they gave a sample of which was not on their normal tastings.
really worth a half hour out of your busy schedule.

Located in the scenic Blue Mountains, this ski area has the second highest base elevation in Washington State.
Reviewed By John H - Walla Walla, Washington
Nice place to find some great powder. The mountain isn't the biggest, but the lines are short, the trees are a blast to ski or board, and now they run the cat up vintners ridge it is even more fun to get up to bluewood for the weekend. If you like powder and hassle free skiing, Bluewood is the place to be.

Have a French cheese experience, meet the owners, see the goats. If you can't get there, they often sample and sell their cheeses at the Walla Walla Farmers Market, and at the jimgermanbar in Waitsburg, and many local Walla Walla and Dayton restaurants serve their artisan handcrafted cheeses. Their cheeses are also sometimes available in Portland and Seattle - visit their website to learn more. http://www.monteilletcheese.com/

A premier gallery featuring fine art limited editions, sculpture, gifts & conservation framing. Our professional staff is dedicated to help you choose the art & complimentary custom framing that's right for you. An experience in fine art.

What variety! It is not a museum, everything is for sale. It is not just a gift shop, they work with regional artists and nationally known artists. They've had shows with Bev Doolittle, James Christensen, John Weiss, and many other well recognized names. I found puzzles by artists, DVDs, hand-crafted pottery and wood work, prints on both paper and canvas, and some really cute earrings from a regional artist. I was pleasantly surprised at their variety. They've been in business since 1993. I've had them frame several things for me over the years and I love that they value conservation framing. I go in every time I am in town. Professional staff, great customer service, and a relaxing atmosphere.
6. Tucannon River

Scenic river winding straight into the placid heart of the Blue Mountains.
Reviewed By bettibiz - Washington State
If you're looking for the middle of nowhere, you've found it here. We love to take our motorhome and stay in one of the many free camping areas along the river. We fish occasionally but mostly we just explore forest service roads in our Jeep. It's gorgeous scenery - be sure and stop for coffee at the Last Resort! You can go over the hills one way to Dayton and the other to Pomeroy - we've spotted all kinds of elk and deer making those drives. Enjoy!

A remote, isolated wilderness: great for camping.

Excellent camping fishing hunting mushrooming . A number of access trails and roads. In my opinion over policed by forest service patrol. Be carefull of regulations for use. It's not just open totally to public anymore regulated on many fronts.

The Village Shops antique collective is a lovely store with all the small collectibles anyone could want. What distinguishes it from others is the huge collection of vintage pedal cars offered for sale. Could almost be a pedal car museum.
