The Highway 50 Association Wagon Train departed from Stateline June 4. The reenactment of the Great Western Migration plans to arrive in Placerville on June 10. This is the 68th year for the event.<\/p>\n

But late in the day on Thursday CalTrans was forced to close Highway 50 due to a mudslide. \u00a0The highway is expected to be closed nearly 24 hours. \u00a0This could have caused a serious delay to the weekend events planned for the\u00a0Wagon Train’s arrival in Placerville.\u00a0\u00a0But fortune smiled on this year’s participants and spectators as the Wagon Train had already passed the mudslide before the road was closed and camped last night at Fresh Pond.<\/p>\n

All events are expected to be on schedule.<\/p>\n

Sat, Jun 10, 2017 –\u00a0\u00a0Historic Main Street will welcome the Highway 50 Association’s Wagon Train around 3:30 pm on Saturday, June 10th.<\/strong>\u00a0The train will stay for a few minutes for the community to view and photograph. Placerville is the end of the trail for the week long trek that begins in Nevada earlier in the week. Admission is free.<\/p>\n
