About this property

Fisher's Station, also known as Carriage Point, was a stage stand on the old Butterfield Overland Mail route and the Texas Road in Indian Territory. It was located at the head of Island Bayou in what is now Bryan County, Oklahoma. Island Bayou was then the dividing line between the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations. From March 23, 1869, to February 6, 1871, the Carriage Point post office existed at the site and it is generally referred to by that name in the area. The station was run by Fisher Durant, a well known Choctaw family who founded nearby Durant. Fisher's Station (Carriage Point) was added to the National Register of Historic Places (#72001058) in 1972.
