Experience the American Adventure

The Archway is a tribute to the pioneers of the past and an inspiration to the adventurers of today.

Imagine the daring and determination of the people who first traveled the Oregon Trail, the high-spirited adventure of racing to California during the Gold Rush of 1849, the devotion of the Mormons who moved to a new land in search of religious freedom, the entrepreneurial spirit that lead to the creation of the Pony Express, the industry that built the Transcontinental Railroad and the cooperative effort that lead to the creation of “America’s Main Street,” the Lincoln Highway and, later, the Interstate Highway System. Individuals of vision and courage found ways to work together to turn their dreams into reality and to contribute to an enterprise that was much bigger than themselves, they built the United States of America. Experience these stories and more at the Archway. Touring the Archway is an immersive, educational, and inspiring historical experience for visitors of all ages.
