The Lee Shifflett Family will bring artifacts from the 1960 Re-ride. Just like the first Pony Express ride, the re-ride left the stable doors on April 3, 1960. We will show movies of this event which documents the rider leaving St. Joseph headed to Salt Lake City, Utah. We will also share footage from 1967.

We will recognize Lee’s brother, Raymond, who participated in the re-ride. We will toast the event, read names of those participating in the re-ride, and share cake. Come join in the celebration!

Please join us as we relive the day’s events through newspaper articles and other exciting items!
