This site is located four miles north of Fairbury, in Jefferson County, Nebraska. Other names for the station include Grayson's and Whiskey Run. Bishop and Henderson identify the station as Virginia City on their "Map of California- Oregon-Mormon Emigrant Roads Featuring the Pony Express 1860-1861," as does trail historian Gregory M. Franzwa. Lone Tree possibly served as an alternate station site, one mile south of Virginia City. http://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/poex/hrs/hrs4c.htm#16
