Review:
The National Frontier Trails Museum in Independence is the country’s only museum dedicated to America’s three “great western routes.” Independence, Missouri was the main “jumping off point” of the California Trail, the Oregon Trail, and theSanta Fe Trail and the museum showcases each trail’s unique features, as well as their impact on the history of the United States. Other exhibits are focused on the Lewis and Clark explorations, why people chose to “go West,” and the early traders and fur trappers. The National Frontier Trails Museum includes children’s activities, trail artifacts, authentic covered wagons, and much more.
