Butterfield Overland Mail Historical Markers
The Butterfield (or Southern) Overland Mail was a mail and passenger stage service from St. Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee, to San Francisco, California. It operated from September, 1858 to March, 1861 and is considered the nation’s first transcontinental mail service. This series includes markers about the Butterfield Overland Stage that generally follow the route of the mail line. The route was designated a National Historic Trail in 2023.
