Camp Floyd was a short-lived U.S. Army post near Fairfield, Utah. The Stagecoach Inn was a nearby stagecoach stop and, during 1860-61, a Pony Express stop. Both were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s and now are included in a Utah state park known as Camp Floyd / Stagecoach Inn State Park and Museum.

Famous quotes containing the words camp, inn, state, park and/or museum:
“The Indians invited us to lodge with them, but my companion inclined to go to the log camp on the carry. This camp was close and dirty, and had an ill smell, and I preferred to accept the Indians’ offer, if we did not make a camp for ourselves; for, though they were dirty, too, they were more in the open air, and were much more agreeable, and even refined company, than the lumberers.... So we went to the Indians’ camp or wigwam.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
“To flatter and follow others, without being flattered and followed in turn, is but a state of half enjoyment.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
“Soaked by the sparkling waters of America.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 2740, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
