Nez Perce National Historical Park
Historic Site · Lapwai, Idaho
A national park made of thirty-eight separate places across Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington, telling the history of the Nimiipuu - the people the French called Nez Perce - on the land they have lived on for thousands of years. Twenty-six of the sites are in Idaho, on or near the reservation, and the headquarters and museum are at Spalding on the Clearwater River ten miles east of Lewiston. It is the most visited National Park Service site in Idaho, and its central story is the flight of 1877, when about seven hundred and fifty people ran eleven hundred miles from the US Army and surrendered forty miles short of the Canadian border.
