Your added donations are needed and help to an even greater extent (see the “Donations” tab).
  • Creates linkages with the diverse ethnic groups with connections and interest in the history of the Trail, including Mexican, Anglo, and French descendants of trail travelers, and Native American groups, and to the lands still occupied by these people along the Trail.
