IN BRIEF
For thousands of years the valleys, prairies, mountains, and plateaus of the inland northwest have been home to the Nimiipuu or Nez Perce people. Today, the 38 sites of Nez Perce National Historical Park are scattered across the states of Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana and have been designated to commemorate the stories and history of the Nimiipuu and their interaction with explorers, fur traders, missionaries, soldiers, settlers, gold miners, and farmers who moved through or into the area.
There are two Visitor Centers, one at Park Headquarters in Spalding, Idaho and the other at Big Hole National Battlefield, Montana. Both facilities are staffed year around by personnel who can answer your questions about the local area, the Nez Perce People and the War of 1877.
