Mormon Tavern stood at this site on the old Clarksville-White Rock Emigrant Road. Constructed in 1849, this popular stage stop was enlarged and operated by Franklin Winchell in 1851. It later became a remount station of the Central Overland Pony Express, and on April 4, 1860, pony rider Sam (Bill) Hamilton changed horses here on the first eastbound trip.
