South Platte/Frontz Pony
Express
Frontz's/South Platte Station site is one of two stations
within Colorado and was presumably two miles east of present
Julesburg, in Sedgwick County. Sources generally agree on its
identity as Frontz's or South Platte. This marker identifies
the site as South Platte Station and another marker at the site
states it is Butte Station, which other historians list as a
separate ranch known as Butt's or Burt's. Little more is
known about this Pony Express station. This marker is located 1.5
miles north of the original station and was put in place in 1932 by
the Deuel County (Nebraska) Historical Society. Although the
Pony Express had a short span of time, there is plenty of history
and speculation about it's details.
Should be an
easy find.

As usual hide as good or
better.
