Since 1992, the Interpretive Center has brought to life the story of
the Oregon Trail. Through life-size displays, historical artifacts, and
live performances by historical interpreters, visitors to the center
are transported back in time to the first days of Baker City. What
started as a small goldmining town grew through the years as more
emigrants arrived. These pioneers had fought through challenging
conditions and traveled thousands of miles to reach Oregon, but had
they not persevered, the growth of this State could never have taken
place. We owe it to those who blazed the trail before us to listen to
their story, and we owe it to ourselves to take their lessons of
perseverance, innovation, and community spirit to heart.
