To Plan A Trip

Starting in March 1993, six states whose territory were crossed by the trail launched a variety of special events to mark the 150th anniversary of the first organized wagon train. A main attraction is an actual wagon-train journey, but financial constraints will keep it from crossing all the states, as originally planned; it is following the trail only in Idaho and Oregon, starting in late June and ending in September.
