For a second year, the National Pike Wagon Train wonât make its annual journey.
âWeâre just leery of someone getting sick and getting it from the wagon train,â said Doc Sherry, the master of the wagon train that is part of the yearly National Road Festival. âWe didnât want to take that responsibility on.â
The National Pike Wagon Train makes a yearly trek from Grantsville, Maryland, through Uniontown, on the third full weekend in May each year. Participants travel by horseback, covered wagon and by foot on the 42-mile trek down Route 40, also known as The National Road.
