The National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center offers interpretive programs, exhibits, multi-media presentations, special events, and more than four miles of interpretive trails.
Using life-size displays, films and live theater presentations, this Center provides a unique opportunity to walk through a wagon train, join a group of emigrants as they cross the frontier, and experience history come to life.
The 500-acre site includes remnants of the historic Flagstaff Gold Mine, actual ruts carved by wagons, and magnificent vistas of the historic trail route.
