2024 Oregon Trail Days

Come see us this weekend at our favorite event of the year - Tenino's Oregon Trail Days. There's a whole weekend of fun scheduled. We'll be at the new Oregon Trail Experience located at the Tenino Depot Museum this year. Look for our prairie schooner and stop by to say hi. We'll have some fun crafts for kids. On Saturday, we'll be rolling through town with our historic chuck wagon in the parade. Hope to see you there!
