PIONEERS WANTED!

Enjoy the simplicity of frontier life for a weekend. Since 1979 the Flint Hills Overland Wagon Train has provided authentic covered wagon trips through the scenic Kansas Flint Hills, an untouched part of the historic American Tallgrass Prairie. Weekend pioneers relive experiences of those who joined the great Westward Movement in the mid-19th Century.

"My children and I have just returned from one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences we have ever had. A trip on the Flint Hills Overland Wagon Train. From the initial meeting to the return, we have nothing but praise for the organization, good food, entertainment and good company we found. You can be assured we will tell everyone we know that this trip is one not to have missed." - Patricia Joseph, Topeka, Kansas.

THE JOURNEY:

All weekend trips begin with prospective weekend pioneers meeting at 10:00 a.m. at the tennis courts-athletic field in the 300 block of South Neosho Street in Council Grove, Kansas, which is a block north of Custer Oak Park. After an introductory briefing, personal vehicles will join in an escorted caravan to the embarkation point. Vehicles will be parked at the ranch overnight. Camping gear and luggage will be transported to the overnight campsite independent of the wagon train. More detailed instructions and map will be sent with your confirmation after we receive back your application and deposit.
