Hawes Station

Hawes (or Haws's) Station was built in 1851 by Willard Gates, and was one of the first homes built along the Carson Trail. It served as a trading and emigrant station, later belonging to Bert Haws. Up until its abandonment in the early 1870s, Hawes Station also served as an Overland Mail and Stage station and was briefly a relay station along the Pony Express Route.

The Hawes name was later applied to a nearby station on the Southern Pacific's Nevada and California Railroad, laid in 1905 to connect Hazen to Mina.
