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.
