Post Company Quarters overview
Post Company Quarters
One of the main reasons to visit the Post Company Quarters is to learn about the history of the area.

The quarters themselves are well preserved, and visitors can see many of the original furnishings and artifacts on display.
Another unique thing to see at the Post Company Quarters is the nearby Butterfield Overland Mail Route.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go

- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
