Pony Express Barn & Museum
The Pony Express Barn and Museum traces its roots to the very beginnings of Marysville’s history as a key stop along the Pony Express route during Westward Expansion.

Constructed from native limestone, it was built to endure the test of time, becoming a lasting symbol of innovation and resilience.
