Mail Drop Monument – About six miles south of Stockton there is a mysterious looking monument that appears out-of-place. During the late 180’s it was a convenient mail drop for residents in Tooele and Lehi and points in between, including the towns of Ophir and Mercur. The mailman from Tooele would collect post from there, Stockton, etc., and take to the mail drop for pickup or delivery. The mailman from Lehi did the same thing for Ophir and Mercur.
