West of Elko, Nevada, the California Trail Interpretive Center offers historical and cultural insight into the westward migration of the American Pioneers. Equally interesting is the history and cultural look into the lives of Native American peoples that inhabited the Great Plains and the Great Basin. Artifacts, lifelike displays and glimpses into the terrain and challenges provide a wholly immersive experience.
Located within view of the Humboldt River, eight miles west of Elko at I-80 exit 292, the California Trail Interpretive Center and museum is a key landmark and vital resource for understanding the many trails West. The publicly and privately funded U.S. BLM, City of Elko and Elko County joint venture interpretive site and museum serve all age groups and interest levels. Traveling I-80 across Nevada? Be sure to visit the California Trail Interpretive Center!
