Oregon Trail Side Trip: Exploring CCC’s Legacy & Hidden Museum Gems

Our road trip continues on the Oregon Trail, with a pit stop at Guernsey State Park and the Wyoming Pioneer Musem in Douglas. Join me as I explore the legacy of the civilian conservation corps (CCC), a remarkable program initiated by FDR during the Great Depression that put America’s youth to work creating the massive, enduring stone architecture they left behind-– the “Stone Giants“. But that’s not all! Half of our adventure takes us  to the Wyoming Pioneer Museum, a hidden gem, where we uncover treasures and artifacts that tell the story of our rich history. From hands-on exhibits to fascinating insights, we’ll discover how these two locations intertwine to illuminate the spirit and achievements that built American. What we cover: The “Stone Giants”- the architectural philosophy and enduring beauty of the civilian conservation corps new deal construction projects. More than just work: the impact of the CCC on its young enrollees, offering help, pay, and education during the Depression. Hidden history revealed: we visit a local, unassuming museum, filled with personal artifacts and intimate stories that revealed the juicy tidbits and obscure finds of history. Whether you’re a history buff, an outdoor enthusiast, or simply curious about America’s past, this video has something for everyone. Next up: Join me as we leave the museum and hit the trail! We jump into the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center to experience the brutal reality of the Oregon, Mormon and California Pioneer Trails. We’ll push a hand cart and ride a covered wagon simulation to understand the true hardship of the journey.
