The existing Buckland building was built mostly of salvaged lumber from dismantling Ft. Churchill. Buckland Station formerly existed as a Pony Express station and as an emigrant stop and to serve an early bridge over the Carson River.

When listed on the NRHP, the building had just been purchased by the state of Nevada, which has continuing plans for its rehabilitation. It is located two miles east of Fort Churchill State Historic Park.[2]
