About

Fort Churchill State Historic Park is a state park of Nevada, United States, preserving the remains of a United States Army fort and a way station on the Pony Express and Central Overland Routes dating back to the 1860s. The site is one end of the historic Fort Churchill and Sand Springs Toll Road. The park is in Lyon County south of the town of Silver Springs, on US Route 95 Alternate, eight miles (13 km) south of US Route 50. Fort Churchill was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961. A 1994 park addition forms a corridor along the Carson River.
