The Pony Express Museum is hosting, for the first time ever, an open house inviting all preschool age children and their teachers, families, and caregivers to this special event. Please join us in the Museum lobby for a ribbon cutting kicking off the Museum’s “Explore. Discover. Learn.” (EDL) program. Be sure to grab a copy of My Book to use while going through the

Museum using the EDL icons.


The EDL program has been in the works for 10 years. We are so proud to finally bring it to fruition. You’ll meet some of the families heavily involved in the development of this newest learning program, as they will join us on this special day. The families will distribute commemorative ribbons in five assorted colors for children to take home as souvenirs of the occasion.


Be sure to stop into the east community room for open house activities. We’ll partake in lemonade and cookies. You’ll have the opportunity to meet and interact with some of our volunteers.


Executive Director Cindy Daffron says “We are so excited to present this newest method of passing history on to the newest generation. This program provides yet another technique to share the Legend and the Legacy of the Pony Express. Please join us to watch as children utilize this new educational tool. Thank you to the many volunteers involved in the development of this program.”
