Oregon Trail Live III

Dying of dysentery* will reach new heights of fun this September when the beloved Oregon Trail computer game comes to life once again at Oregon Trail Live III.On September 20, teams will face challenges like hunting, grave digging, caulking and floating their wagons (actually cleverly decorated take-out containers) and carrying 200 pounds of meat. Between tasks, competitors and spectators can learn about Oregon history on the five-acre museum grounds, which celebrated the Willamette Valley's pioneer and industrial heritage with 14 historic buildings that encompass the saga and richness of the state's past. Miss Milly's Saloon, Gambling Den, Dance Hall and Arm Wrestling Emporium will be open. Arm wrestling optional. IMPORTANT NOTE: No one will actually die of dysentery.

This event received the Museum Education award from the Oregon and California Trails Association. Woo hoo!
