Trail of the Pioneers
What supplies will you need for your Oregon Trail adventure? Pack your wagon and harness the oxen, it's time to live the roleplaying game of Oregon Trail Adventure.
Walk the actual trail of the Oregon pioneers. Explore their history and adventures as we discover what life was like in the Oregon Territory.
The Pioneer Adventure
Mixing readings from pioneer diaries with hands on projects such as safe whittling, outdoor cooking, quilting and cross-stitching, we begin to recreate the journey of the Oregon Trail from the pages of our past.
All this plus we offer plenty of down home fun and good times: from old fashioned music to playing the old school games of the pioneers of the Oregon Trail.
Payment Plans
For families who need it, we can offer flexible payment plans. Contact Molly to learn more. A non-refundable deposit is always required to reserve your space.
