Educational Videotapes History is more than just dates and places. It's the rag doll a young pioneer girl carried with her across the Oregon Trail. The Oregon Historical Society has created a series of artifact kits designed to showcase other times, other places and other people through hands-on observation. Artifact kits can be picked up at the Oregon History Center reception desk, or call us for shipping information. A billing statement will be sent after the materials are returned to the Society.

Even the simplest daily tasks were a struggle for pioneers making the journey to the Oregon Country. Those lucky enough to make it through safely began life anew here in the West. The Pioneer Artifact Kit gives you a sense of what everyday life was like for these hearty pioneers - both on the trail and after they settled into their new homes. Artifacts include a candle mold, a bullet mold, a powder horn, handmade soap, a slate and pencils, books from the late 1800s, a nightcap, a sunbonnet and more. Recommended for 3rd grade and up 2.
