Located 10 miles from Horseshoe Pony Express Station and 15 miles from LaBonta Station; the old Emigrant Road crosses Elkhorn Creek just north of the station site. http://www.expeditionutah.com/featured-trails/pony-express-trail/wyoming-pony-express-stations/
Frontz's/South Platte Station site is one of two stations within Colorado and was presumably two miles east of present Julesburg, in Sedgwick County. Sources generally agree on its identity as a station, known either as Frontz's or South Platte. A marker improperly identifies the site as Butte Station, which Merrill Mattes lists as a separate ranch known as Butt's or Burt's. Little more is known about this Pony Express station. (NPS)
There is some confusion on the exact location of Gilman's Station. Musetta Gilman tells the story of the site, run by her husband's ancestors, in Pump on the Prairie. Nonetheless, most sources generally agree on the identity of Gilman's Ranch as a relay station and a stage stop listed on the 1861 mail contract. (NPS)
General area maybe six miles from Elk Creek
The exact identity and location of this site remains unknown. Mattes and Henderson place the station in Phelps County, about six miles southwest of Elm Creek. Mattes later lists the site as six miles southeast of Elm Creek.
This site may have been positioned in Clay County. [91] Since the 1861 mail contract did not list Spring Ranch as a stopping point, the positive identification of Spring Ranch as a Pony Express station remains controversial. Its location between two known distant stations, Liberty Farm and Thirty-Two Mile Creek, would have made Spring Ranch a convenient place for riders to change horses.
INTRODUCTION Division Three of the Pony Express National Historic Trail consisted of forty-six stations. This division was the second largest division of the Central Overland California & Pike's Peak Express Company or Pony Express. Only Division Five surpassed Division Three in numbers of stations. Division Three went from Horseshoe Creek, Wyoming, across the vast stretches of Wyoming's high desert landscape to Great South Pass and through the Rocky Mountains and then southwest to the Wyoming Basin and to Green River, and then through the Wasatch Range to Salt Lake City, Utah.
INTRODUCTION Division Two of the Pony Express Trail stretched from Fort Kearney, Nebraska to Horseshoe Creek Station, Wyoming. This division, which extends through western Nebraska into eastern Wyoming, included thirty-three stations along the route as it crossed the High Plains toward the Rocky Mountains. Wherever possible, Chapter Five incorporates available information regarding locations, buildings, commemorative markers, and personal accounts of stations mentioned in the text.
Purpose: To accurately and definitively document the historical, geological and social aspects of Utah’s expansive outdoors. This project isn’t about one voyage or even a series of excursions rather the collective experiences of countless explorers that collect here to share their part of the story. Additionally we are here to provide a “one-stop” website for any/all vehicle based overland and expedition type trekking in the state of Utah. However, the goal isn’t to be limited to vehicle based recreation, rather it will be the focus.
Division One, which began at St. Joseph, Missouri and ended at Fort Kearney, Nebraska, included twenty-six Pony Express stations. Of the twenty-six stations, eleven sites are marked in some way with plaques/monuments. An additional three monuments and a statue represent the starting point at St. Joseph. In Division One, there are six station sites associated with the Pony Express National Historic Trail that are on the National Register of Historic Places. They are the Pony Express Stables, the Patee House in St.
The Fairmount Water Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was Philadelphia's second municipal waterworks. Designed in 1812 by Frederick Graff and built between 1812 and 1872, it operated until 1909, winning praise for its design and becoming a popular tourist attraction. It now houses a restaurant and an interpretive center that explains the waterworks' purpose and local watershed history. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 for its architecture and its engineering innovations.
