Sled Springs Stage Station
Early day travelers used the clearing west of this sign as a stop-over and
resting place during their journeys from Lost Prairie, Flora, Paradise and other
points north to Elgin. Travel was by saddle horse, stagecoach, or wagon.
It was known as the Sled Springs Station and was operated for several years
before 1900 and to about 1925. In later years this same area was the site
of a railroad logging camp. About 300 people lived in the vicinity.
