Oregon Trail Ruts State Historic Site is located near Guernsey and can be easily accessed off Highway 26. At this site visitors can see the wagon ruts left in the soft sandstone by thousands of wagon wheels, horse and oxen hooves. These ruts date from the mass migration of the 1800's along the Oregon Trail.
