The Great Wagon Road Project is happy to share a description of our outline and the steps taken to reach our goal. The road greatly enhanced our nation’s history and the lives of so many. As new discoveries are made throughout this project, many researchers feel and understand the overwhelming adventure the road brought to these early settlers.
