Camp Floyd State Park
This former military post quartered the largest troop concentration in the
United States from 1858 to 1861. About 400 buildings housed the 3,500
troops sent West to suppress an assumed Mormon rebellion. The troops
returned East in 1861 for Civil War duty. Only a cemetery and commissary
building remain as silent evidence of turbulent Camp Floyd.
Nearby Stagecoach Inn was an overnight stop on the historic overland stage
and Pony Express route. The two-story adobe and frame hotel has been
restored with original period furnishings. It is open daily 9:00 AM - 5:00
PM. The park is located in the town of Fairfield, Utah 25 miles southwest
of Lehi on State Route 73.
