Marysville was a home station for the Pony Express, and the original building stands on its original site one block west. There, Pony Express riders were changed as they carried the Overland Mail through 1966 miles of territory, now eight states. Founded, owned, and operated by Russell, Majors, and Waddell, the Pony Express employed 120 celebrated riders who rode 650,000 miles, with only one rider killed by Indians, one schedule not completed, and one mail lost.
