Overland Mail 100th Year Noted in Tipton Missouri
Tipton Missouri marked the 100th anniversary of the Butterfield Overland Mail with a quiet town gathering. The story recounts John Butterfield securing a $600,000 federal contract to carry mail between St. Louis and San Francisco and describes the original route from St. Louis to Tipton and the arduous 2,800 mile journey. A Concord stage coach was restored to imitate the historic run and begin today along the original path with Tipton residents observing.
