We decided to do a series of some of the Bridges of Atchison County. No, we don't have covered bridges, but we do have some pretty neat old bridges, and some new ones. We hope you enjoy visiting some of them. While placing these caches, we came upon deer, buffalo, coyote, rabbits, and one ole hoot owl, that was telling me all about the area or told me to get out, I don't know which.
You know the drill: Not all of the roads in Atchison County are paved or gravel. Some of the roads are dirt roads,use caution, if the dirt roads are wet - DO NOT ATTEMPT!
Nano - sorry:(
The Kansas Stage Company operated a line to Leavenworth, which made stops at Sumner and Kickapoo. A daily line, operated by the Kansas Stage Company, ran to Junction City by way of Mount Pleasant, Winchester, Ozawkie, Mt. Florence, Indianola, Topeka, Silver Lake, St. Marys, Louisville, Ogden and Ft. Riley. The distance over this route was 120 miles and the fare was $10.00. There was also a two horse stage line carrying the mail from Atchison to Louisville. Louisville was one of the most important towns in Pottawatomie county, and in 1859 was an important station on the route of the Leavenworth & Pike's Peak Express. The mail line as then operated then ran through Monrovia, Arrington, Holton and other points to its destination in the West. J.H. Thompson, who was an old man then, was the contractor for carrying the mail and was well know along the whole route, being familiarly know as "Uncle Johnny" Thompson. His stage left Atchison every Saturday morning at 8 o'clock and arrived from Louisville on Friday evening at 6. The fare from Atchison to Louisville was $8.00. Taken from The History of Atchison County.
