/About the site:/In 1857, Gerat Hollenberg built a one-room cabin on his
land, sure that he could improve his mercantile business by locating it
closer to the St. Joseph Branch of the Oregon-California Trail. A
century and a half later, the cabin remains to help tell the stories of
the pioneers on the trail, the Pony Express riders, and the Hollenberg
family. The Hollenberg cabin, designated a National Historic Landmark,
has been preserved and includes hands-on exhibits geared toward
children. The visitor center and museum house exhibits on westward
expansion and the Pony Express. The Hollenberg Pony Express Station
State Historic Site is one of 16 historic sites operated by the Kansas
Historical Society.

The Kansas Historical Society does not discriminate on the basis of
disability in admission to, access to, or operation of its programs. The
Historical Society requests prior notification to accommodate
