Hollenberg Pony Express Station

You can almost hear the thundering of horse hooves and the creak of wagons when Pony Express riders and hundreds of pioneers made a stop at historic Hollenberg Station, a National Historic Landmark. In 1857 Gerat H. and Sophia Hollenberg established a way station for travelers on the Oregon and California Trails, and from 1860 to 1861 they operated a Pony Express station. The building still stands and, along with the visitor center, tells the stories of the Hollenbergs, pioneer life, and the Pony Express.
