Why this spot
1870s-1951 stage and trading town
Achilles on Sappa Creek had about 70 people in 1910 and stores, a blacksmith, barbershop, garage and creamery along Main Street, linked by stage to Colby. Bypassed by the railroad around 1915, most businesses were gone by the late 1930s and the post office closed in 1951.View source →
