That this journey...is perilous, the deaths of many testify...as I passed the fresh made graves, I have glanced at the side boards of the wagon, not knowing how soon it might serve as a coffin for some one of us. Lodisa Frizzell, 1852

The wagon in front of you is a carefully researched replica of a typical covered wagon like those used by California Trail emigrants. Covered wagons were relatively small; they had to be lightweight. Western emigrants did not use the large "Conestoga" wagons often depicted in movies.
Imagine living out of it with your family for a weary, dusty six months as you crossed half a continent.
