This former military camp housed the largest concentration of Troops 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 of Camp Floyd. The Stagecoach Inn, constructed after the military period, was an overnight stop on the historic overland stage and Pony Express route.
