BAKER CITY – Work is ongoing at the site of the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center outside of Baker City. In an update from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), it was noted that the building is “getting new roofing, insulation, siding, windows and doors, and heating and air conditioning systems.
The new facility will be all-electric — meaning the building’s energy efficiency will be improved by 73%. Even through winter storms in Baker City, construction has stayed on schedule thanks to the hard work of our teams!
While NHOTIC may be closed, a temporary Oregon Trail exhibit at the Baker Heritage Museum is ready for visitors! In addition, the Oregon Trail Ruts Access on Hwy. 86 will remain open to the public throughout construction.”
