Located about 500 feet south of this marker.
Established July 27, 1867 by Captain S.R. Smith, built by the 200 soldiers under his command and named in honor of General H.W. Halleck, commanding the Division of the Pacific. The first buildings were of adobe bricks. Hospital and other buildings were later built of wood. Built for a two company post, one infantry and one cavalry. Used as a base for explorations.
Lieutenant Whipple made several trips through central and southern Nevada, accompanied by guards from the post, to map and secure military information.
