Coalition of Historical Trekkers The Purpose and Ideals of the Coalition of Historical Trekkers: We, the Coalition of Historical Trekkers, are living historians dedicated to the preservation and study of pre-1860 frontier people in America. We see ourselves as experimental archaeologists, involved in one or more eras of the historical time frame from 1600 to the year 1860. As is the purpose of an archaeologist, to establish facts about a historical people or time period, we research the lifeways of the pre-1860 frontier people who lived in, fought for, and founded this country. Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area tells the stories and builds awareness of our region’s past, present, and future: the settlement of the western frontier, the Kansas-Missouri border war and Civil War, and the enduring struggle for freedom.
