Ebbetts Pass
Historical Landmark
Named after Major John Ebbett and pointed out in 1853 to surveyor G.H. Goodard who referred to it as a “route of great promise – probably the best one for a transcontinental railway.”
No emigrant train used this route but a stage road was completed here in 1864 to serve mining region of Silver City.
Marker is on Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway (State Highway 4), on the left when traveling east.
