We made the short drive to the Historic Trails Park. There are plaques that describe the different historical trails that passed through Marysville on the way west. There is the Morman Trail, Military Trail, Oregon Trail, California Trail, Overland Express, Pony Express, St. Joe, and Otoe-Missouria.
There is also a model of the original ferry that crossed the Big Blue River there in Marysville. The Donnar Party crossed here and the first person, the mother-in-law died at this location.
The park isn't far from town and doesn't take long to check out and is a great history lesson.
