Point of Rocks Stage Station State Historic Site
Point of Rocks Stage Station State Historic Site, Stage station and historic site in Sweetwater County, US.
The Point of Rocks Stage Station features stone walls constructed with local sandstone and mud mortar, situated along Bitter Creek in Wyoming.
Built in 1862, the station served as a crucial stop on the Overland Trail until 1868, when the arrival of the Union Pacific Railroad changed transportation patterns.
The station transformed from a transportation hub to multiple roles, including a store, school, ranch headquarters, and home for different families through generations.
The historic site remains accessible year-round from sunrise to sunset, located half a mile south of Interstate 80 exit 130.
The structure stands as one of the remaining intact stage stations from the Overland Trail period, with its original stone construction still preserved.
