The Trail of the 49er’s Interpretive Center is a unique museum located in the heart of downtown Wells, Nevada.
In Episode 13, Host Curtis Calder travels to Wells, Nevada to meet with Jerry Bynum. Paul Bottari, and Terrence
Holdeman to discuss the importance of the “Humboldt Wells” to westward emigration, the subsequent
development of the Central Pacific Railroad through the region, and the ongoing efforts to preserve
Northeastern Nevada history through the Interpretive Center and Western Heritage Park. Relocated from Battle
Mountain, Nevada in the early 2000’s, the Trail of the 49er’s Interpretive Center proudly displays original
California Trail artifacts, and serves as a great starting point for day-trips to the ghost town of Metropolis and/or
the California Trail Backcountry Byway.
