Experiencing the Fort Seward Wagon Train: Honoring History and Living the Prairie Life
Together, they share the lasting impact and day-to-day experiences of this annual week-long event that brings history to life on the open prairie.
Trent and Lacey begin by discussing the origins and purpose of the Fort Seward Wagon Train, which honors the pioneers who crossed this country in search of opportunity and freedom. Lacey explains how the wagon train began as a simple historical reenactment but has grown into a family-friendly, hands-on adventure rooted in hard work, personal responsibility, and community.
Later, Trent speaks with Devin, who leads the train on the trail. He shares what life is really like for participants: sleeping under the stars, cooking over an open fire, caring for livestock, and dealing with real-world challenges that build confidence and forge lasting friendships.
This episode is a tribute to the enduring values of self-reliance, family, and faith—and a powerful reminder that the American spirit still lives strong on the prairie.
