Caption: Marker detail: Native Americans to Movie Stars
Additional Description: In the mid-to-late 1800s, Pike Street teemed with activity when pioneer wagon trains, buggies, Wells Fargo stagecoaches, horsemen, prospectors, Native Americans, Chinese laborers, and others used the emigrant trail route daily. The trail was used by the Pony Express during its short life span (1860-1861).

The Misfits movie, starring Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, and Montgomery Clift, was filmed in the Odeon Hall and Saloon in 1960. It was Monroe’s and Gable’s last movie. Gable died just two weeks after the filming, and Monroe died two years later.
