    The Emigrant Trail Museum of Donner Memorial State Park is a memorial park and museum. In the 1840s, immigrants came over to this area to seek a better life on the west coast. The Donner Party was trapped in these mountains during a horrible winter and were starving. Rumors have it they resorted to cannibalism, though the museum claims "no real evidence was found".
