White Spring Ranch- Historical Archive Museum- CCE-LED PROJECT TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED (No Personal Transportation)

White Spring Ranch is listed on the National Historical Registry and was the homestead of early Idaho settlers in the wheat-producing Palouse area south of Moscow, Idaho. John Lorang and Mary Gesellchen Lorang created a successful farm. They, and three generations of the family, were historians, writers, and photographers and preserved all of their histories from its founding in 1885 to the present day.
