This historical marker is on Hwy. 27 in Osakis and tells about the stage that traveled through this area back in 1859. The text reads:
Osakis was one of the stops on the Burbank Minnesota Stage Company line to the Red River, established in the spring of 1859 upon the opening of the Fort Abercrombie military road. During the Sioux Outbreak of 1862 the maintenance of this line of communication was vitally important, and the route was constantly patrolled by troops.
