Oregon-California Trails Association
Preserving and protecting overland emigrant trails and the emigrant experience.
Last updated
Based in Independence, Missouri, the Oregon-California Trails Association is a multidisciplinary group focused on safeguarding overland emigrant routes and the stories of those who traveled them. It follows the Oregon Trail Memorial Association, which Ezra Meeker started in 1922. The group’s Mapping Emigrant Trails guide became the National Park Service’s standard for GPS-based mapping on historic and scenic trails.
