The National Pony Express Association is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization founded in 1977 to "Re-establish, Identify and Re-Ride the Historical Pony Express Trail" every year. National Headquarters is located in Pollock Pines, California.

An Annual Director's Meeting is held in September in a city along the Trail. The organization is governed by written By-Laws and incorporated in the State of California. A National President is elected annually at the national meeting.

The Association is composed of members from California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri. The Association is active all year long with each State participating in commemorative events, trail work, parades, and trail/school education.

If you are interested in joining or having Pony Express present an education event, please be sure to "Contact Us", and someone will get back to you usually within 48 hours.
