SWEETWATER COUNTY — The Pony Express Re-Ride is coming through Sweetwater County on Monday, June 16.
The horses and their riders will be stopping to change over in Granger mid-afternoon according to the Sweetwater County Historical Museum. The first rider will leave Sacramento, California June 11 heading east, with the last rider scheduled to arrive in St. Joseph, Missouri June 21.
The National Pony Express Association (NPEA) is a non-profit, all volunteer organization founded in 1977 headquartered in Pollock Pines, California. Each year 700 volunteer riders and their horses recreate the Pony Express’ ride over the entire cross-country distance. The route enters Sweetwater County two miles south of the old Dry Sandy stage station site and runs from Little Sandy, Big Sandy, Big Timber, the Lombard Ferry Site across the Green River, and from there to Granger.
