Stockton Well

Originally built in 1865, on this site. It was first called Stockstore Station, then finally Stockton Well. It was one of the largest of the way stations since five trails converged at this point. One of the more famous was the old Carson Immigrant Trail. Another was the Carson-Humboldt Toll Road. In 1971, a perfect mint condition Dr. Wonsers U.S.A. Indian Root Bitters bottle was found in the sand under a piece of sagebrush near this location. “A very rare discovery”
