Kylie the Historian will be speaking at the 41st Oregon-California Trails Association Convention in Gering, NE.

When Ezra Meeker crossed the country in 1859, he mostly passed through unorganized territory. By 1906, Meeker’s trail back east crossed barbed wire and state borders.

But what about the places where the trail crosses from one state into the next? Learn more about a few of the interstate partnerships.
