Fun Places | Faust Pony Express Station
Hype:
"We built a log cabin, the roof was dirt, the floor was dirt. A wagon cover made a carpet. The window was glazed with a flour sack. The door was a blanket. The table an endgate of a wagon. The first stage west of Salt Lake brought Mrs. Faust to this stately mansion where she lived nine months without once seeing a woman." Henry Faust, station keeper

We stopped at the Faust Pony Express station site and spent a few minutes learning about an ancestor that lived in Faust as a boy. For how much we hear about the Pony Express, I was surprised that the Pony Express only ran for a few years before the telegraph put it out of business.
