Crouch Station Butterfield Stage Stop - Missouri Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

The Crouch family ran the station or stage stop starting in 1858.

"The fare at the beginning was $200 for West bound passengers, $100 for East bound and ten cents per mile for way fare, either direction."

It took 25 days to go from Tipton, MO to San Francisco, California.

"Sixteen miles south of Springfield the first major stop was made at the station operated by John C. Ashmore. From there the route continued in a southwesterly direction to the station operated by John J. Smith, seven miles west of the city of Crane, Missouri. The road then followed Flat Creek fifteen miles south to John D. Crouch's station. Through Cassville the route led to the last Missouri station operated by John H. Harbin, which was located one mile south of Washburn, MO and sixteen miles from the former stop. The route would then entered Arkansas six miles south of the Harbin station."
