Posted Jun 12, 2026 2:00 PM

The Pony Express Museum will have photo opportunities with a new covered wagon display on the museum grounds later this month, the museum also offering free admission in celebration of the 250th anniversary of America

The ‘new’ covered wagon on the grounds will be outside of the Community Room.  Props will be provided as well as costumes to stage your photo with this 1900’s wagon, complete with a cover.  The wagon will be filled with items families would have carried during the Westward Expansion.  Put on your bonnet and apron or pioneer hat and step back in time with a photo of you and your family.

The photo ops will be available June 26th from 10am to 4pm and on June 27th from 10am to 2pm.  Also on both days, in celebration of the 250th Anniversary of America the museum will offer free admission to the museum from 9 am to 5pm.
