Between 1841 and 1869 over 250,000 people sold their belongings, packed up wagons, and set out over-land for California.

Learn the stories of the pioneers who endured the 2,000-mile trek; some seeking land, some gold, others seeking adventure, and some for reasons we may never know. Enjoy Native American programs, visit with trail reenactors, and much more. Our young visitors will enjoy Jr. Ranger activities throughout the camp.

California Trail Days is a pioneer reenactment event for the whole family!
