Benson Chamber of Commerce will be putting on a special
Butterfield Overland Stage Days. Although it only ran for 2
years in 1858 and 1859, it was one of the turning points in
American history. October of 2011 will mark 153 years
since John Butterfield’s dream for an overland mail and
passenger service connecting the East with the West. There will
be vendors and entertainment in Lions Park. There will
also be an official U.S. Post Office Pony Express mail run from
Benson to Dragoon on horseback taking letters with a special
cancellation just for this event. The day's event will end with
a spectacular fireworks show. For more information call the
