Maricopa Historical Society – Overland Mail Company
Mar 2, 2020 @ 5:00 pm
March 2, Gerald T. Ahnert will discuss the Overland Mail Company that left its mark on Maricopa. He worked on a bill now in Congress waiting to be approved to designate the Butterfield Trails as a national historic trail. A native New Yorker, he has had his work featured in True West magazine.
“No Butterfield stage was ever held up by outlaws, and no one on his stages was ever killed during the company’s service on the Southern Overland Trail,” he wrote.
The meeting starts at 5 p.m., with the presentation at 5:30 p.m. Free. All are welcome.
The event is part of the historical society’s Speaker Series.
