Butterfield Overland Despatch Wagon Ruts

Chapman, KS

Butterfield Overland Despatch Wagon Ruts

From Marshall, ¾ mile west on 5th to Indian Hill Cemetery. Inside the cemetery, signage leads you to the ruts, which are west of the cemetery and enclosed by chain-link ropes. The ruts are best viewed from inside the cemetery. Sharing a segment of the Smoky Hill Trail, the Butterfield Overland Despatch operated a relay station along Chapman Creek. (NRHP)
