Historic Trails Park
From Broadway, ¾ mile south on U.S. 77 (10th), 1½ miles east then north then west (under U.S. 77, across railroad tracks), continue north, then before going under an overpass, turn west into the park. Eight historic trails crossed Marshall County (Oregon Trail, Overland Trail, Pony Express route, Military Trail, Mormon Trail, Otoe-Missouria Trail, St. Joseph-California Trail, and Pike’s Peak-California Trail). Excellent plaques and interpretive signs explain each one, and a map shows each route. A replica rope ferry shows what trail travelers used to cross the Big Blue River.
