Between 1840 and 1869, approximately 500,000 emigrants traveled through Casper Wyoming area on three National Historic Trails, The Oregon Train, The Mormon Trail and the California Trail. 350,000 pioneers traveled on the California Trail, 80,000 on the Oregon Trail and 70,000 on the Mormon Trail.
They migrated for different reasons. They sought free land in Oregon Territory, religious freedom in the Great Salt Lake Valley and free gold in California.
Here are a few pictures I took in the Center and the last ones are some Jerry took on our way to Casper, Wyoming. We hope you like them.
