Not really a mainstream museum, but rather just a small house in a park that, if you passed by, you may just think it's a city park building. Get closer and discover an original US Pony Express depot. There is a mini-museum, complete with a docent who can fill you in on the history of where it was moved from to get to where it is today, along with the history of the building. Quick jump off the freeway to learn some US mail history....very educational.
