Bicentennial Wagon Train Takes Off

The Cattaraugus County Bicentennial Wagon Train and Stagecoach run took off this morning.

The Wagon Train and Stagecoach run will re-enact a part of county history that took place between 1808 and 1814 along the Chautauqua Trail when horse drawn conveyance was a means of transportation for freight and passengers.

During the Bicentennial run, the wagons will travel about 3 miles an hour, stop for a midday meal and camp at the end of the day.

The wagon train started out in Ellicottville, and will end in Little Valley on August 22. It will be in Portville August 18 and 19; Olean on the 19th; Allegany on the 19th and 20; and Salamanca on the 20th and 21st.

The wagon train plans to stop at Seneca Junction for lunch on the 20th
