Virginia Dale Stage Station

Established in 1862 by Overland stage agent Joseph “Jack” Slade — who named it for his wife — Virginia Dale was a home station on the Overland Trail and the last stop before the mountain passes. Robbed and fought over in its heyday, the original station still stands, cared for by a local historical society, and is one of the few Overland Trail stations left. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
