National Historic Trails Center

The BEST thing: Seeing the Pony Express exhibit. There was an actual hor
se and they went fast, fast and they delivered mail.

Another FUN thing: playing with the pieces
to have wagons cross a bridge over the Platte River. You had to get the parts all the way across with people on both sides to take care of things.

The most BORING thing: (1) staying so lo
ng. It kind of hurt my legs to stand around. (2) not being able to do a junior ranger badge. They don't have the program yet!

For FAMILIES:
(1) If you like horses, look at the pony express area. Also, try out the telegraph.


(2) Try crossing the river in the fake wagon. It's kind of bumpy but you don't really get wet! Don't be worried if you see things floating off on the river...and DON'T get up. You might tip over the wagon!
