McGee Stage Station

     The McGee-Harris Stage Station is about 1 mile south of US Highway 56 on the east bank of 110 Mile Creek, east of Burlingame, Kansas. The stage station was started in the 1850s by Fry McGee, who also erected a toll bridge over 110 Mile Creek here. Harris, McGee's son-in-law, operated the station, following McGee's death, from 1861 to 1866, when this segment of the trail closed. Crumbling building remains are all that are left today.
