6/19/08: A Five Star Field Trip

If any of you ever find yourself near Casper, WY and would like a fun and educational experience for yourself and the kids, check out Historic Trails Interpretive Center. This exhibit was informative and fun. Even my museum fatigued children liked it. Among other things, we took a simulated covered wagon river crossing across the North Platte River, a simulated Wells Fargo Stage Coach ride, and carried the heavy carts that the European Mormon converts pushed all those long, hard miles because they couldn’t afford to outfit a covered wagon. Check out their web site at http://www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/NHTIC.html if you plan to be in the area.
