STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Drumheller Springs was the site of both prehistoric and historic Indian encampments.  It was also the site of a school established by Spokane Garry, a tribal leader who proved a skillful diplomat between the Spokane Indians and early non-Indian settlers in the area.  The springs were historically known as Garry’s Springs and Lone Pine Springs; the current name derives from their association with Dan Drumheller, a pioneer stockman who established a slaughter house on the flat immediately below the spring in the late 19th century.
