Alphabet People
The WWII Manhattan Project Hanford site workforce lived in the village of Richland, WA in letter designated housing.
The Alphabet People lived in government-owned housing, shopped in government-designed shopping areas, and were entertained by government-sponsored events designed to keep people happy in a place where "Silence is Security" and "Blabatours are Sabatours."

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, telling visitors dramatic stories about the lives of Walla Wallans and the issues of their day, and allowing guests to question the characters about their lives and times.
Dan Clark, one of the originators of the Living History’s successful presentations, breathes life into Walla Walla’s first Mayor, E.B. Whitman. He’s played this favorite character for many a season. You won’t want to miss his polished delivery to get a sense of Walla Walla’s interesting history as the oldest city in Washington state.
