The Carson City Historical Society presents an unforgettable evening exploring Carson City’s crucial role in one of the nation’s boldest experiments in communication — the Pony Express.
“Mail, Mochilas, and Miles” will be presented by local historians and modern Pony Express relay riders Petra Keller and Dee Beardsley, whose firsthand experience in contemporary re-rides brings extraordinary authenticity to the story. Together, they will guide audiences through the daring riders, rugged relay stations, and relentless miles that helped unite a nation in 1860–1861.
