Neff Station and Halfway House (2) Markers

Two vanished stops on the old road south are remembered here. Benjamin Barr Neff farmed this ground, and 'Neff's Station at Dry Creek' became a Deseret Telegraph office in 1871 — run, notably, by his twenty-year-old second wife, Mary Ellen Love Neff. Nearby stood the Halfway House, the two-story inn Milo Andrus began in 1859, so named because it sat midway between the Travelers' Rest pony station north and Porter Rockwell's south. Both are gone under parking lots now, the inn moved to This Is The Place Park in 1982; only Neff's Grove keeps the ground green.
