Description.
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 from Easter weekend through
October 15. The park is located 25 miles southwest of
Lehi on State Route 73.
