Nice to walk around and read the signs. Fun little activity to do on a sunny day with the family. The signs have cool information and shows lots of facts/people involved in Oregon Trail. Really awesome adventure to take 4th grader as the study the Oregon Trail in school. Sad that the center was closed. Would love to come back when it is open.

This was a fun little park with small gardens and interpretive areas with information about the history of the trail and the area. There is a large indoor center which was not open when we were there. Free if you are just walking the grounds. If you are walking around, be sure to take the trail below and behind the building for more fun displays.
