CYW 285 National Trails Historic Interpretative Center

Run by the Bureau of Land Management this free exhibit made a point of NOT being a museum (“don’t touch”) but rather an interpretative center (“please touch”).  It told the stories of all the trails that converged near this spot, including The Oregon Trail, The Mormon Trail, The California Trail, and the Pony Express route.
