**Walker's Station** was a stage stand on the old [Butterfield Overland Mail](/source/Butterfield_Overland_Mail) route in [Indian Territory](/source/Indian_Territory). It was located at the old Choctaw Agency in [Skullyville](/source/Skullyville,_Oklahoma), in what is now [Le Flore County, Oklahoma](/source/Le_Flore_County,_Oklahoma). The station was named for [Tandy Walker](/source/Tandy_Walker), Choctaw chief, and later, Governor of the Choctaw Nation. The old Choctaw Agency building was his residence.[2][3][4]
