National Historic Trails additions to be considered

The Carson City Library will host a public meeting by the National Park Service at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the library auditorium.

The NPS is seeking public comments concerning 64 historic routes that are being evaluated for possible addition to the existing Oregon, California, Pony Express, and Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trails.

This NPS study and environmental assessment, which is in its initial information-gathering phase, will address trail study segments in more than a dozen states from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast. If included, the routes would add thousands of additional miles to these existing national historic trails.
