The city of Prosser, Washington, named for Civil War veteran Colonel William Farrand Prosser, was incorporated in 1899 with a population of 230 people. Colonel Prosser and his wife Flora claimed a homestead near the site of an ancient Yakama Indian fishery in 1892. The Yakama Indians had, of course, lived in the area for thousands of years, The Prosser Historical Museum has exhibits showing the history of the region. Among the exhibits is the Victorian Parlor.

According to the Museum:

“A Victorian parlor was a residential room reserved for special occasions: Sunday Bible readings, tea parties, piano recitals, weddings and even funerals. Here the family would display their finest furniture and furnishings.”
