Pony Express Monument Map

Location: 38.5832538, -121.5039311

The Pony Express Monument in Sacramento commemorates the western terminus of the legendary mail route that once connected California with the rest of the United States. Established in 1860, the Pony Express was a bold experiment in communication before the advent of the telegraph, relying on fast horseback riders to carry mail across wild terrain. The monument features a bronze statue honoring these brave riders and is located near Old Sacramento, where the first westbound delivery concluded. It’s a key photo stop and historical site for visitors exploring the city’s Gold Rush-era landmarks.
