About the exhibit
In 1829, Mexican merchant Antonio Armijo led a caravan of 60 men and 100 mules to blaze a trail across Nevada. “The Old Spanish Trail: Connecting a Network of Paths,” traces the trail’s history through illustrated wall panels, textiles, and many artifacts

Called “the longest, crookedest, most arduous pack mule train in the history of America”, the Old Spanish Trail is both one of the nation’s least known trails and one of the most important pack mule trading trails in this region.
