Fort Walla Walla Museum's Living Historians bring history to life, portraying real people from Walla Walla's past. The troupe’s goal is to bring museum exhibits to life by telling visitors dramatic stories about the lives of Walla Wallans and the issues of their day, and letting guests question the characters about their lives and times.

William Tye is an assistant conductor working for Dorsey Baker's Walla Walla & Columbia River Railroad. Tye will discuss his work on the locomotives and clear up myths and legends surrounding Dr. Baker's famous enterprise.

The marvelous Gary Lentz will be portraying William Tye.
