Geocache Description:


Hall's Station

Spafford Hall built this station and trading post in the early 1850's to accommodate emigrants bound for California. Hall, who was the first permanent settler, was severely injured in a hunting accident in 1854 and sold the station to one of his employees, James McMarlin, after which it became known as McMarlin's Station.

Major Ormsby bought the station sometime between 1854 and 1860. The title was still in his name in 1860 when he was killed in the first battle of the Pyramid Lake Indian War.

Exact site destroyed by borrow pit.
