The National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center is a 500 acre site managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The large interpretive center building contains exhibits that tell the compelling story of the Oregon Trail and the emigrant experience. In addition, the center contains a theater that hosts films, lectures, and dramatic presentations. On the grounds of the site are four miles of interpretive hiking trails, an amphitheater, a wagon encampment for living history demonstrations, and scenic views of the surrounding area. Oregon Trail ruts are visible from the center and can be visited. The site offers activities for all ages, for school groups, and for group tours. This is a particularly fine stop for families with children.
