This weekend the Pony Express Museum will offer free admission for one day during museum day, with some special history reenactments as well.

Museum Day will be tomorrow (Sat.) with free admission to the Pony Express Musuem during its normal hours from 9am to 5pm. History re-enactors will be presenting at the museum from 10am to 4pm. Re-enactors will also visit the Pony School from 10am to noon, and noon to 2pm.

On top of that, during the free admission day, the museum encourages everyone to come and see the Native American display, mini quilt arrangement in the children’s play area along with the new animal display. The Hall of Riders also has a new rider James “Bean” Hamilton for people to learn his history.

Once again, root beer floats and sandwiches from Marek’s will be available at Dick and Mignon’s Soda Shop or the Goetz Museum. Sample root beer floats will be free, or you can buy a souvenir mug for $20
