Join the Wyoming State Museum on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. for a journey on the Oregon Trail.
June’s Family Day will celebrate the wagon route that brought 300,000 settlers out West from the 1840s to late 1860s.
Visitors will enjoy games, crafts, and many educational opportunities to learn about all aspects of life on the Oregon Trail. Kids and adults alike will go from station to station discovering what food the immigrants ate, what dangers they faced, and what they would have to consider when they decided to make the journey. By the end of the day, each guest will know the story of their personal trip on the Oregon Trail.
In addition to seeing many artifacts from the Wyoming State Museum collection, guests will interact with partners from State Parks and the Wyoming Geological Survey. They’ll learn about Wyoming places like Independence Rock, Ft. Laramie, and Guernsey State Park, where you can still see wagon ruts carved into the ground.
