Our Mission
The California Trail Interpretive Center interprets the California Trail experience, its related themes, and provides educational and cultural enrichment to the general public.
Unfortunately the weather has prevented our crocheting instructor from making it to the center today and we will have to cancel our Crocheting class today. We will try to reschedule it in the near future. Apologies for any inconvenience.
The California Trail Interpretive Center
Between 1841 and 1869, up to 250,000 people sold their belongings, packed wagons, and set out for California. The California Trail Interpretive Center offers dioramas and interactive exhibits that immerse the visitor in the trail experience of those who endured the 2,000 mile trek.
