Visitors can also view a replica of the original Pony Express station.

PEPS also preserves the original Pony Express route. The society maintains the route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, as well as a portion of the route between Atchison, Kansas, and Seneca.

The society also hosts a number of special events throughout the year, including a re-enactment of the Pony Express ride and a celebration of the route's anniversary. PEPS also sponsors a trail ride from Seneca to Atchison each summer.
