Our mission began with the desire to preserve this irreplaceable piece of American history and to honor Marysville’s critical role as a hub during the westward migration. In an era when the stories of frontier life and the Pony Express risked being forgotten, we stepped in to ensure this legacy remained alive for future generations. By transforming the barn into a museum, we created a space where history could be preserved, explored, and celebrated.
The Problems We Wanted to Solve
Over the years, the barn has gone from serving practical frontier needs—like blacksmithing, auto repair, and meat processing—to becoming a museum filled with artifacts and exhibits that showcase the history of Marshall County and the heroic stories of the Pony Express riders. We’ve also partnered with local organizations and schools to make history accessible, relevant, and engaging.
