At this spot in 1904, brothers Charles and George Wilson, builders of the Cody-Meeteetse Road, constructed a rock dugout near Dry Creek Spring. The primitive accommodation stood halfway between Corbett Crossing on the Shoshone River to the northeast and the town of Meeteetse to the south. Light Concord stage coaches traveling this route carried passengers and mail and changed horses here. The station advertised both telephone service and delicious pies, but was abandoned in 1908 after automobiles began to use the route. The spring remained a favorite watering place for travelers for many years, and early station keepers such as Miles Bennett, the first keeper at the Halfway House Stage Stop, served those who passed this way.
