San Deigo Historic Site 502 OAK GROVE STAGE STATION

Oak Grove, one of the few remaining stations of the Butterfield Overland Mail, is a long adobe sheltered by oak trees. The building has been enlarged at various times; the northern part certainly dates from the 1850's.

After 1861, when the Civil War terminated the Butterfield service between Missouri and San Francisco, the station was used as a hospital for Camp Wright, which occupied the land across the highway.

The Oak Grove Station is now a store and bar.
