Bringing the Oregon Trail to You -
History shouldn’t be confined to a museum. It should be experienced.

These historic-looking wagons are part of the National Oregon/California Trail Center’s Mobile Learning Center—a traveling educational experience designed to bring the Oregon Trail to life for students, families, and communities throughout the region.

The Mobile Learning Center will travel to schools, community events, festivals, and other educational programs, giving people the opportunity to step into the world of the emigrants who traveled west.

Inside and around the wagons, visitors can explore hands-on activities, stories, artifacts, and educational experiences that help connect the landscape we live in today with the people who traveled these trails nearly two centuries ago.
From Nebraska to Bear Lake and beyond, the goal is simple: bring the trail to the people. www.OregonTrailCenter.org
