Review & FAQ:
On April 3rd of 1860, a single rider, the first rider of his kind, departed from the Pikes Peak Stables in the town of St. Joseph, Missouri. This marked the beginning of the famous Pony Express, a network of brave riders who carried saddlebags full of the dreams and hope of the country, traveling over two thousand miles to California. The stables today house the educational, interactive, and modern museum dedicated to the legend and history of the Pony Express. The Pony Express Museum features state-of-the-art exhibits, images and stories, and a sixty-foot diorama depicting the diverse terrain traveled by the riders.
