HOLLENBERG PONY EXPRESS STATION

The station was constructed in 1861 and remains the only intact, unaltered station that served the 2,000 mile route of the Pony Express. In actuality, the station consists of six buildings built over time that were clustered together and then gathered with walnut siding to create one building. Our proposal convinced the Kansas State Historical Society that we could lift the building and slide it to the side while constructing a suitable footing for the shallow stone foundation. We then slid it back in place and replaced the walnut siding with new walnut and prepared the building to receive nearly 20,000 visitors a year.
