The Pony Express Historical Marker, located off the Loneliest Road in America, is a must-see for history buffs and anyone interested in the Wild West.

The marker features exhibits and interpretive signs that tell the story of the Pony Express and its riders, who braved harsh conditions and dangerous terrain to deliver the mail. Visitors can also explore the surrounding desert landscape, which has changed little since the days of the Pony Express.
