Simmons Point Station is the name of a house near the unincorporated settlement of Globe in Marion Township, Douglas County, Kansas. The building was constructed in the 1880s as a way station for travelers on the Santa Fe Trail,[1] [2] [3] [4] and it was run by Phillip and Elmira Dodder Simmons.[5]
In 1995, the United States National Park Service certified the house as a historic site. However, no settlement in the area claimed the building, causing it to fall into disrepair. Today, it is in an advanced state of deterioration and nearing collapse.[2]
