Established in 2007, our organization provides advocacy to open, maintain and support the existing legal easements, dedicated and accepted by the County of Nevada, of the historic Emigrant Trail from Highway 49 to Dog Bar Road in southern Nevada County in California.
The historic Emigrant Trail was first used in 1844 by thousands of people who emigrated from the eastern regions of the United States when the area was still part of Mexico, making it the earliest overland trail in California. The trail is of regional, state and national significance and extends throughout Nevada County.
