Buffalo Bill Cody started his career as a Pony Express rider out of Julesburg and later he managed the run between Red Buttes and Three Crossings.
You'll find the marker just inside the entrance of the coral area where Cody and his crew practiced for his famous "Wild West Show".
The site is now a National Historic Place and is a Nebraska State Park.
