Cold Springs - Pony Express Station

3D ModelNoAI

Located in the Bureau of Land Management’s Stillwater Field Office management area in Nevada, the Cold Springs Pony Express Station played an important role in the development of transportation and communication in the expanding United States between 1860 and 1927.

Construction of this station began in the late winter or early spring of 1860. A nearby stream, distance from the other stations, the availability of building stone, and an expansive view were reasons for selecting this site. This structure is one of the best preserved, original Pony Express stations along the entire trail.
