Review:
The Chimney Rock National Historic Site is known as the most famous historic landmark on the Oregon-California Trail. It was established as a historic landmark in 1956 and is located in the valley of the North Platte River. The site gets its name from the formation of the rock, which sits erect like that of a chimney on a house.
The Ethel and Christopher J. Abbott Visitor Center at Chimney Rock avails visitors of several museum exhibits, a video presentation of the history of West migration, and offers guests the chance to “pack” their own wagon. There are also various books offered for purchase on the area’s history.
