Description

A man and a woman sit in the driver's seat of a covered wagon in West Boylston, Massachusetts while re-enacting the migration of people from the Eastern part of the United States to the Western part. A sign written on the side of the wagon says "West Boylston Colonists Bound for Amhurst, Sacramento Valley, California". Three boys stand next to the covered wagon and each person wears a mask.
