About the Business
The Nez Perce National Historical Park Visitor Center is located at 39063 U.S. 95 in Lapwai, Idaho, United States. This park serves as a tourist attraction and travel agency, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the rich history and culture of the Nez Perce tribe. The visitor center features a museum with exhibits showcasing clothing, tools, weapons, and ceremonial objects, as well as a park store operated by Discover Your Northwest. Throughout the year, the park shows a film called "Of One Heart" which provides an introduction to the Nez Perce story. The center is open all year, 7 days a week during the summer season and Tuesday through Saturday during the winter season. Visitors can also enjoy walks and talks, museum tours, and tipi pitching demonstrations provided by park staff. There are four short interpretive trails that highlight historic sites such as the Watson's Store, the Spalding Mission, and the Lapwai Mission Cemetery. Entrance fees are not required for recreational activities, but reservations may be needed for group picnic areas. First Amendment activities are welcome at designated areas within the park. Visitors are asked to respect tribal cemeteries within park boundaries.
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."
