HUGO EMIGRANT TRAILS COMMITTEE
Want to become a member of the Hugo Emigrant Trails Committee (Trails Committee)? This is a group of individuals from the Hugo Neighborhood Association & Historical Society (Hugo Neighborhood) with opportunities for membership in the group wide open. The goal of the Trails Committee is to preserve our cultural assets through documentation. Hugo is blessed with a rich heritage of historic roads, rough though they were. The Trails Committee was formed by the Hugo Neighbor-hood to bring together all those who want to learn more about the early transportation in the area, from the casual admirer to the dedicated researcher. The aim is to collect and record information about Hugo’s emigrant trails, especially its two historic 1856 General Land Office mapped roads, and to share this information (e.g., through Hugo History Day, talks, hikes, group visits, training exercises, workshops, publications, web sites, etc.).
Do you think you might own property where one of our two 1856 immigrant roads once passed? Would you like to know more about their history? Hugo Emigrant Trails Committee The Trails Committee was formed by the Hugo Neighborhood January 27, 2005. The following neighbors are members of the Trails Committee.1 The Trails Committee has authority to determine its own members, officers, and projects. Committee members will never enter private property without permission. In addition to fieldwork, members will research the history of the area in order to better understand their subject. Property owners become committee members when they partnership with the Hugo Neighborhood and allow research to be conducted on their property.
Valuable advisors for the Trails Committee are members of the Oregon-California Trails Association (OCTA) who have a commitment to National Historic Trail preservation.
