Tips from the community
The National Frontier Trails Museum is the only place in the country dedicated to depicting life as it was on the Western trails. The museum hosts both exhibits and a research institute, so scholars from across the United States are often here to study documentation of colonial travel. Check out the museum and follow the path of the pioneer’s voyages across America by way of wooden wagons and mules.
