In addition to a Pony Express Station a short distance away, Salt Lake City was the Division Headquarters for the central portion of the route.

The plaque is inscribed:
Site of a Pony Express Station
1860-1861

Placed in Tribute to the Personnel of that Gallant Enterprise
by the
Spirit of Liberty Chapter - Daughters of the American Revolution
1924


Apparently, some time after this plaque was placed in 1924, the actual site of the Station itself was established as being a short distance away.
