About OCTA

Our mission is to protect the Historic Emigrant Trails legacy by promoting research, education, preservation activities and public awareness of the trails, and to work with others to promote these causes.  The Colorado-Cherokee Trail Chapter is one of 11 chapters in the OCTA organization, which maintain their own websites. Each chapter work on marking and mapping the trails and works with private landowners as well as government agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service, on preservation issues. It's a great way to get “on the ground” in OCTA because local chapters sponsor trail outings in their area and have frequent meetings to discuss trail history and preservation. Most of these events are open to members and non-members alike.
 
Membership in our chapter is voluntary, although in order to be a member of our local chapter you must be a member of national OCTA. Many members join the local chapters to get the best available information about issues and projects in that area. Every chapter welcomes members from all over. Most publish their own newsletters. Visit the chapter websites to get more information about what the chapter in your area is doing.

The above is a 10 minute clip from the History Channel (How States Get Their Shapes) that I edited to include just Colorado.  This, I feel, is just fascinating.
