The Oregon Trail Band
Music was the lifeblood of entertainment in the 19th century. When the work was done, musical instruments were brought out and a songfest began. Traveling musicians were highly celebrated and well-attended. You can enjoy the feel of those bygone days with popular 19th century music played by the Museum's own Oregon Trail Band.
As part of the Living History program, the Oregon Trail Band performs at
1:30 pm preceeding the day's Living History performance every 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month during the season. Pictured above are (left to right) Linda Ray, Gordon Hare, Leroy Hogeboom, and Bob Bohlman. Visiting musicians are encouraged to sit in.
