      General Info
      The Oregon-California Trails Association (a non-profit, 501 (C) (3) Association) is the nation's largest and most influential organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of overland emigrant trails and the emigrant experience. OCTA members protect the trails to prevent the destruction of trail remnants, graves and other trail-related sites. Members also place markers on the trails and maintain existing markers. OCTA also encourages the study of the trails through its publications and through the development of classroom materials for teachers. Some of our members map the trails and collect data for the documentation of overland diaries, newspapers and other materials. OCTA headquarters are located on the grounds of the National Frontier Trails Museum (318 West Pacific, Independence, MO 64051) and house our Merrill J. Mattes Research Library. OCTA Vision: The Oregon-California Trails Association is the pre-eminent guardian and promoter of the inspirational story of the 19th-century westward migration, which is unique in world history. OCTA Mission: Our mission is to protect the Historic Emigrant Trails legacy by promoting research, education, preservation activities and public awareness of the trails, and to work with others to promote these causes. Mission Goals: Six broad goals describe how OCTA will achieve its mission. These address trail preservation, education/interpretation, partnerships, organizational effectiveness, and membership. Each goal is supported by objectives and implemental actions. Goal 1. Preserve the historic emigrant trails. Goal 2. Present the stories of the emigrant experience in a manner that is inclusive of other perspectives. Goal 3. Be an effective historic trails organization through appropriate partnerships. Goal 4.
