After we left the cave and down the valley to the main road, we continued up the road to visit the Oregon/California Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Montpelier. On the way, we saw some really old buildings in the town of Paris. I had taken quite a few pictures of these, but, Ron's memory card was acting weird and I only have this one picture, which is a bummer, because I found out at the historical museum in town that Paris has the most old buildings listed on the National Historical Register than all of Idaho. The interpretive center was kind of cool, they have a living history museum inside with the townspeople dressed in period costume, telling you of their everyday lives living within a wagon train on their way to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. There's even a wagon that you sit in that shifts and bumps to give you an idea of what it was like to ride in one.
