I am interested in the history of the Pony Express. I’m hoping that knowing more about the route will make certain points have more significance than mileage marks I’m ticking off on my way from Missouri to California. Below are links to some of that information online.
- Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Company

Group that, among other activities, stages a re-ride of the route every year—on horses, in ten days. - Pony Express National Historic Trail
