Sportsman's Hall

Location Facts:
This site was also known as Twelve-Mile House, the hotel operated in the late 1850s and 1860s by John and James Blair, a stopping place for stages and teams of the Comstock.
It became the only home station in California where Central Overland Pony Express riders changed. At this site at 7:40 A.M. on April 4, 1860 pony rider William (Sam) Hamilton, riding in from Placerville, handed the express mail to Warren Upson, who, two minutes later sped on his way eastward over the storm swept Sierras.
