Fort Walla Walla is a United States Army fort located in Walla Walla, Washington. The first Fort Walla Walla was established July 1856, by Lieutenant Colonel Edward Steptoe, 9th Infantry Regiment.[2][3] A second Fort Walla Walla was occupied September 23, 1856.[4] The third and permanent military Fort Walla Walla was built in 1858 and adjoined Steptoeville, now Walla Walla, Washington, a community that had grown up around the second fort.[4] An Executive Order on May 7, 1859 declared the fort a military reservation containing 640 acres devoted to military purposes and a further 640 acres each of hay and timber reserves.[5] On September 28, 1910 soldiers from the 1st Cavalry lowered the flag closing the fort.[6] In 1917, the fort briefly reopened to train men of the First Battalion Washington Field Artillery in support of action in World War I.[7] In 1921, the fort and property were turned over to the Veterans Administration where 15 original buildings from the military era remain.[8] Today, the complex contains a park,[9] a museum, and the Jonathan M. Wainright Memorial VA Medical Center.[10]
