The Old Oregon Trail is an incredible journey ... The covered wagon is a symbol of the western expansion of the United States. In 1843, the first large migration left Missouri in May. They traveled across unassigned Indian territory in what is now Wyoming, over South Pass to Oregon Country. 400,000 pioneers loaded up the wagons with all they could carry and headed west in the 1800s. These pioneers came from all over the world to settle in a new land, later to become these United States.
