Oregon-California Trails Association

The Oregon-California Trails Association (OCTA) is a historical organization dedicated to preserving, studying, and sharing the history of the overland trails used during the 19th-century westward migration, including the Oregon, California, Mormon, and Pony Express routes. Through research, education, and conservation efforts, OCTA aims to keep this significant chapter of American history accessible and meaningful. The association often organizes events, publishes scholarly works, and collaborates with historical sites to ensure these historic trails and their stories are remembered for future generations.
