Hollenberg Pony Express Station State Historic Site

You can almost hear the thundering of horse hooves and the creak of wagons as 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 , pictured at left, 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.

Visitors are saying:

"It was very interesting! Keep up the great work!!"

"Cool! We learned a lot, especially my 5-year-old with the tour of Pony Express station house and the interactive displays."
