Tyler and the other fourth graders learned about the Oregon Trail this year. That is a pretty important piece of the history of Oregon. You can read all about it here or just ask Tyler and I am sure he can fill you in on some of the details.
As part of this project, the kids are divided into groups and they are required to put a wagon together and dress in the appropriate attire that was used back in the mid 1800s. Then they go around the neighborhoods and stop at different posts. At some of the street crossings they would have to carry their wagons across. The pictures show Tyler and his group passing our house on their way back to the school.
Tyler should come with us to Baker City next time and check out the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center!
