National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center

Not far from Baker City is the BLM's National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Alas, it's operating under reduced hours these days, and it was closed when we visited June 24. Still we walked a bit of the Panorama Point Trail and saw some of the outdoor exhibits. We have of course encountered the Trail in many other places, commencing in 1972, but it's always of interest.

The Center is up on a hill top overlooking the valley and the Trail

Actual ruts down there by the wagon; we surmised

Among the exhibits, replica wagons

Nice interpretive signage

An 1860s wagon; pretty much after the Trail was over...

In Nebraska, 1972
