Crafts in the Orchard

Mormon Station State Historic Park

Join park staff for Crafts in the Orchard. Mormon Station is located on the California Trail, and in the mid-1800s countless wagon trains stopped here to get supplies, rest, and prepare for the challenging trek over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. During this activity, children will be lead through the process of making their own miniature covered wagon using arts and crafts materials.  Park staff will discuss what life was like for pioneers on the California Trail, including the hardships of living in a covered wagon for several months at a time. This activity is designed for children ages 5-12, but all are welcome to participate. All necessary supplies will be provided.

WHEN: Sunday, May 27, 1 p.m. - 2 p.m.
