The prairie-- hardy, desolate, and immensely beautiful. This touching one-woman performance weaves together a century of prairie history. Explore the hardships of Oregon Trail pioneers crossing the prairie by covered wagon; the hopes and struggles of homesteaders creating a new life on its rich plains; the injustice experienced by Native Americans as western expansion led to loss of land and culture; and the terror of the Dust Bowl years as the land slipped away. These amazing true stories of hope and survival are sure to inspire.

Each interactive program incorporates artifacts, a slide show, hands-on activities and games.
