Pony Express Re-Ride and Living History Days

by Jennifer Springer

There are a couple of nifty events going on in Old Sacramento this week for all you history buffs out there. Tomorrow at 11:30AM, the Pony Express Monument will be hosting the Pony Express Re-Ride. The National Pony Express Association stages this re-ride every June and the celebration in Old Sac will be to welcome home the rider and the flag escort. It will be located at the Pony Express Monument (across from the Wells Fargo Museum at 1000 Second Street) and will be free to the public.

Then, on Saturday and Sunday from 10AM-4PM, the Living History Re-enactors will be hosting Living History Days at the Waterfront Park at Front and L Streets in Old Sacramento. It will also be free to the public.

About Sacramento, CA

When Sacramento was founded in 1849, I don't think anyone bothered to notice that it means "Holy Sacrament" in Spanish. After all, it wasn't a very apt name for a lively, growing mining town where gambling and saloons where the status quo. Perhaps to gain a modicum of respect, they paid California $1 million in 1854 in order to become the State Capitol. In the years since, it has evolved from a little mining town into a bustling city full of people from every culture and every walk of life. In addition, our status as the most ethically diverse city in America also means that we have something for everyone to do. There are numerous ethnic restaurants, tons of museums, and countess festivals in historic Old Sacramento that make the city an excellent place to visit and an even better place to live...
