The Simmons Stage Station, located within a half mile from this farm, was an important stop along the Santa Fe Trail during the mid-19th century. Established by Col. James Simmons in the 1850s, the station served as a waystop for travelers, mail carriers, and freight wagons moving between Missouri and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its location on the trail made it a vital hub for resupplying, resting, and exchanging horses.
