Save the Trail
Preservation Activities
OCTA welcomes volunteers, professionals, educators, students and anyone interested in preserving historic emigrant trails to join our preservation activities.
Preservation Training
This strategy has been developed from the perspective of public partnership organizations who have taken on a stewardship role for an historic trail. It does not reflect the perspectives of the agencies responsible for oversight.
Family History Research
Paper Trail is a searchable database of remarkable journeys, with names, places and a survey of the text. This database includes a list of libraries where the original historic documents may be found.
OCTA Membership
Memberships have been tailored to address varying member wishes. Those with higher initial costs provide increased benefits.
Trails Legacy Society
One hundred years from now, you can still be helping to preserve the historic trails and the stories of the emigrants who traveled them. Making that possible is why OCTA has created the Trails Legacy Society.
