The California Trail Interpretive Center is a museum about the Historical Overland Trail to California. Stretching from Missouri to California, the Trail was used by over 250,000 emigrants between 1841 and 1869. With both indoor and outdoor exhibits, you'll learn about the adventures and trials experienced by these many travelers. This app will help you dig deeper into the stories, artifacts, artwork and primary documents used in the development of the displays. You'll also explore the geography and places along the Trail itself.
