| What is it? |
The Stagecoach Inn is a two-story museum telling the story of travelers passing through Utah on the Pony Express and overland stage route! |
| What makes it historical? |
Built by Fairfield-founder, John Carson, in 1858, the Stagecoach Inn stood along Camp Floyd as the civil and civilian rest stop for weary travelers on the 22-25-day trip between St. Louis, Missouri and San Francisco, California! Because Mr. Carson was Mormon, he didn’t allow alcohol into his inn, which made him popular with General Albert Johnston. As the telegraph replaced the Pony Express and the Transcontinental Railroad usurped the stage routes, the Stagecoach Inn continued to serve westbound travelers, especially miners, until 1947! |
| How can I Help the Helpers? |
HERE’S HOW:
- Pay the entrance fee to help maintain trails, signs, structures, and other visitor services!
- Volunteer with Utah State Parks!
- Be a responsible visitor! Please respect the signs and pathways, and treat all structures and artifacts with respect. They’ve endured a lot to survive into the present. They’ll need our help to make it into the future!
