From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Pony Express Terminal
The Pony Express Terminal, also known as the B. F. Hastings Bank Building, in Sacramento, California, was the western endpoint of the Pony Express. The building was also the first location of the California Supreme Court. It is now part of the Old Sacramento State Historic Park, itself a National Historic Landmark District.
Wells Fargo History Museum
The building is now home to one of two museums about the history of Wells Fargo in Sacramento. This location features a re-created 19th-century Wells Fargo Express Company office, artifacts of company history and the California Gold Rush era, and exhibits about the company's role in California Gold Rush commerce.
The other Wells Fargo History Museum in Sacramento is located in the Wells Fargo Center
