Emigrant Road follows
actual stories from the diaries and journals of those who crossed
a continent. This “historical travelogue” motion
picture traces the Oregon Trail from Courthouse Square in Independence,
Missouri, through the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming,
Idaho and Washington, to Oregon City, Oregon. Follow the route
of the pioneers, visit the sites as they exist today, and hear
the very words of those who lived the adventure.
We’ll see the same sights emigrants
wrote about in their journals, and visit cultural, personal
and historic landmarks. We’ll stock up at Fort
Kearny, Fort
Laramie, Fort Hall and Fort
Vancouver. We’ll remember buffalo
herds “ten miles wide,” and watch a thunderstorm
fade into a prairie dawn. We’ll visit the magic valley of One
Thousand Springs and watch as a wagon
train crosses the Snake
River. We’ll cruise down the Columbia aboard a steamship and
visit the City of Roses as we journey along the Emigrant
Road,
on an Oregon Trail adventure!
