Patee House and Pony Express Office, St. Joseph, Missouri
The Patee House, also known as Patee House Museum, was completed in 1858 as a 140-room luxury hotel. It was one of the best-known hotels west of the Mississippi River. It served as the headquarters for the Pony Express as well as the Provost Marshal’s office for the Union Army during the Civil War. In 1965, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark for its role as the Pony Express headquarters. It marks the eastern terminus of the Pony Express National Historic Trail. It is also on the National Register of Historic Places.
