A nostalgic event is being remembered in a local reflection. The occasion was the arrival of the Great Lakes Bicentennial Wagon Train in a small town. This event took place in Mid-May 1976, and was part of a nationwide celebration.

The wagon train was a massive undertaking with thousands of volunteers involved. It traveled from west to east, with new wagons joining along the way. The first train had departed from the west coast over a year earlier.

Further details about this historic event are available from the source, including the route and number of covered wagons that participated. The reflection is a personal one, from a teacher who witnessed the event with her second-grade students.
