California Trail Heritage Alliance
The California Trail Heritage Alliance was established in 2009 to help raise funds for the final phases of construction, exhibit, and development for the California Trail Interpretive Center. In recent years, the mission of the Alliance has broadened to one of keeping the history of the California Trail alive and helping protect and preserve the Trail through education and outreach, marketing, advocacy, and fundraising.
Every membership supports the California Trail Interpretive Center and Trail preservation. When you join other enthusiasts to become a member or renew your membership, you directly support interpretation, education, and special events at the California Trail Interpretive Center. Your contribution helps preserve the Trail and its history for the benefit of current and future generations.
