SCHOOLS

Experience and relive the past through an exciting School Field trip with Pioneer Trails Adventures.  Our Field Trips are designed to meet State objectives in Missouri History.

Students will travel in an authentic mule-drawn covered wagon to and from interactive historical sites and homes.  Your students will not only learn but experience the history with hands on exciting sites.

 
   

Our Field Trips cover many areas of interest:

 
   
Pioneer Heritage: See and experience the starting place of the Santa Fe, California and Oregon trails.  Pioneer history is explored with specific attention to the preparation for the journey west and the responsibility of each member on the wagon train, even the children.  Your students will not only hear about Pioneer history, but also see and touch many artifacts.

   
 
Civil War History: With the exception of Virginia and Tennessee, Missouri was home to more battles than any other state during the Civil War.  Travel the battlefields in a covered wagon.  Hear the history of Order number 11, William Clark Quantrill, the James Brothers, Cole Younger, and more.  
   
Truman History: See the place where young Harry S. Truman had his first job.  Sit in the courtroom where he held court.  See an interesting video detailing parts of the Truman Family Life.  See the controversial statue that some think is inappropriate.  
   
Prices for our Field Trips range from $7.00 per student to $15.50.  The sites and their individual prices are below.
