The marker says, " Occupied in 1858 by Warren Hall, Division Superintendent, Butterfield Overland Mail which operated between San Francisco and the eastern termini, St. Louis and Memphis, from September 15, 1858 to March 2, 1861. The first mail stage from the East driven from Fort Yuma by Warren Hall and Jacob Bergman passed here October 6, 1858.
STATE REGISTERED LANDMARK NO. 502
Marker placed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the Historical Markers Committee
Erected 1953"
Today, there is a plaque in front of the adobe building. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking about other waymarker here except for the CA state marker so I didn't get any photos of the building. But, it is now a private residence surrounded by a 6 foot tall wooden fence with an iron rod gate at the front.
"The Oak Grove Stage Station, 23.4 m., a well preserved adobe building is now a tavern."
