Reviews
"The visitor center has a beautiful collection of beaded Nez Perce items. A presentation of tribal history is shown in the theater which is large and comfortable. They also have a selection of books and souvenirs for purchase. I have been twice and would go again. Definitely recommend."
"Very informative and interesting. Great picnic grounds for eating lunch and taking a break."
"It was a nice stop. Clean bathrooms and an interesting place. Many stories about the life of the Nez Perce Indians."
"The photo isn't actually of the Visitor Center as it is definitely much newer! But it is a nice center with a small museum and gift shop. They show a 25 minute film which is interesting and enlightening."
"Worth a quick stop to learn a bit about the Nez Perce Indians. The types of tools the used, and a bit of their philosophy of life. You may also note the lack of the wheel and axle. An invention developed thousands of years before the arrival of the Europeans to North America."
