Oregon-California Trails Association -

If you have ever thought about throwing all of your possessions into the back of your car and heading out for parts unknown, you already know the feeling that propelled hundreds of thousands of emigrants westward in the 19th century. The Oregon-California Trails Association, founded in 1982, is a not-for-profit organization, headquartered in Independence, Missouri, dedicated to education about, preservation and enjoyment of the trans-Mississippi emigrant trails. We operate a large bookstore dedicated to offering the best available titles on the emigrant experience. We also publish the scholarly Overland Journal as well as our quarterly newsletter, News From the Plains, both of which are mailed as a benefit of membership. Our Emigrant Trails Historic Studies Series publishes monographs dealing with the emigrant experience. In addition to this website, OCTA sponsors the Overland Trails Mailing List, an Internet discussion list for questions about the emigrant trails.
