Take a scenic drive through Milton-Freewater, Oregon, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most entertaining small towns—with a story so strange it had to be true (mostly).

Born from a love-hate rivalry between two neighboring communities—one dry, one gloriously wet—Milton-Freewater’s history is packed with temperance feuds, saloons, peas, frogs, festivals, and wine. This narrated drive-through explores how Milton and Freewater went from bitter enemies to a forced marriage with a hyphenated name, officially uniting in 1951.

Along the way, we dig into:

Oregon Trail settlement and early Walla Walla Valley history
The Whitman Massacre and its impact on westward migration
The rise of Milton as a dry town—and Freewater as its boozy rebel neighbor
Milton-Freewater’s era as the “Pea Capital of the World”
The legendary Muddy Frogwater Festival and its amphibian legacy
The modern shift toward wine tourism and the Rocks District
Drum circles, civic negotiations, and parking disputes (yes, really)

This is a lighthearted but informative historical tour, told while cruising through present-day Milton-Freewater—perfect for fans of Oregon history, small-town Americana, road trips, and local storytelling.
