Hollenberg Station, Kansas
Hollenberg Station, along Kansas' northern border, was constructed by Gerat Hollenberg in 1857 for pioneers traveling the western trails. To save money and time, Pony Express officials contracted with owners of existing building whenever possible to house horses and riders. This building also housed the stationmaster's family, a neighborhood store, and a tavern. Riders slept in the loft upstairs. The station was designated a Kansas State Historical site and now includes an active visitors interpretation site and center. |
