The Butterfield Overland Mail, 1858-1861, was a short, but very pivotal event that created faster, reliable communication and sparked U.S. expansion and population growth that profoundly changed Tucson and the surrounding region. Its influence is still reflected in transportation routes like I10.

Join us for a free public screening, and panel discussion, of Dusting Off the Butterfield Trail, a documentary delving into the history of this short-lived but momentous antebellum stagecoach route and how it continues to shape the Tucson region today.
