Mariposa County Pioneer Wagon Train
June 10 - 13, 2009
Home
Every second weekend in June since 1975, the Mariposa County Pioneer Wagon Train has made its historic trek from the Goat Meadow campground in Fish Camp, CA to the Mariposa County Fairgrounds.
Following many of the old stage coach roads from the 1800s, the Wagon Train covers this 32 mile trip over the course of three days, camping each night at a different site along the way.
We begin with dinner around the campfire on Wednesday night at Goat Meadow, and end on Saturday, with dinner, Cowboy Poetry, and a western dance at the Mariposa County Fairgrounds.
The Wagon Train welcomes participation from owners of wagons and teams, horseback riders, and those who just want to walk the trail, pioneer-style.
