Kansas
Hollenberg Station
ollenberg Station is a
state historic site in Kansas and is the only unaltered Pony Express
station remaining in its original location. This most westerly Pony
Express station in Kansas, 123 miles west of St. Joseph, was also
called Cottonwood Station because of it’s proximity to Cottonwood
Creek. The building was constructed by Gerat H. Hollenberg in 1857 or
1858 and was believed to have been the first house built in the county.
It became his family home, a neighborhood store, a tavern, a stage
station for the Overland Express and in 1860 a station for the Pony
Express.

Patee House
atee House was, when it
opened in 1858, one of the finest hotels west of the Mississippi and
was the headquarters of the Pony Express. The museum, which is located
on the site today, contains the reconstructed Hannibal & St. Joseph
Railroad and Pony Express offices as well as artifacts from the Pony
Express. This is also one of the most
challenging to draw of those depicted on the granite stones you see on
the monument.
