Oregon history & how we step into it At the Oregon Trail Overnight program, we’ll be using living history as a way to make our program more exciting and authentic. To live history, we need to know some history.  What is Living History? It is giving participants a first-hand view of history. We are appealing to our students’ imaginations to bring a period of time to life for them. First person interpretation is acting like a person from a certain time in history with no recognition of the modern day. The goal is to speak, think, and act like someone who traveled on or was associated with the Oregon Trail. Why is it important to our program? Bringing history to life makes it fun and allows students to feel more association with the past than they normally would through books or other educational materials. Using a living history approach on the Oregon Trail program adds educational value to everything we do. History.htmlHistory.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1
