About this Event
Free Event Add to calendarMuch of what we know about travel on the Oregon Trail we learned from Hollywood westerns, and most of it is wrong. Who emigrated to Oregon Territory and why? What were the wagon trains really like? How did conditions on the trail change over the years? Are there parts that we can still see today? We will explore both the past and present of this grueling trail.
Facilitator: Barbara Linsley has done extensive research on the Oregon Trail both through books as well as visiting sites and museums along the trail route while researching material for two young adult historical fiction books.
