Idaho | Activity 5.6: Packing Up to Move Out West – Oregon Trail Emigration

Students will learn about The Oregon Trail, the path many families took as they migrated westward in the 1800s in search of a new life and greater opportunity, despite the threats of starvations and disease. After briefly discussing the basics of the trail and why families were migrating, students will complete a worksheet filling out items families would have had to bring on such a journey.
