The Journey to Oregon in 1934 is a true story of eight family members who travel from the drought and dust storms of Nebraska to the promise of Oregon in search of a better life. John and Helen have been married six months when they decide to go to Oregon with John's family. The group is concerned they may not have enough money to make the trip and each time one of the vehicles needs repair or a flat tire is fixed, the stress of survival increases. When they arrive in Pratum, Oregon, they immediately experience the abundance Oregon offers.
