The Journey West
The Oregon Trail Groups headed out west by following specific routes, the most well known route being the Oregon Trail. The route led to Oregon’s Willamette Valley with one section directed to California. The route commenced in Missouri and the pioneer traveled over 2,000 miles arriving in Oregon about four months later.
Pioneers began using the Oregon Trail in the early 1840s. Nearly 14,000 people had made the trek west by 1848. Groups continued to travel west through the 1860s. By the time the railroad was installed in 1869, travelers could travel west in comparative ease and comfort.
