Program Description
Experience the hopes and fears of a 19th century family preparing to leave their farm to travel to a new life in Oregon. Students will learn about overland travel on the perilous journey, as well as the importance of proper packing. They will explore our emigrant wagon outfitted as a “prairie schooner,” including its impressive wagon wheels. Students will also gain a better understanding of the motivations for taking the Oregon Trail.
