Pony Express Historical Marker: Riverbed Station

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. This historic site commemorates the Pony Express, a legendary mail delivery service that operated in the mid-19th century, carrying mail across the country in record time. 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. Nearby, visitors can explore the historic towns of Eureka and Austin, or take a scenic drive through the Great Basin National Park.
