Rock Creek Pony Express Station and the Legendary Wild Bill Hickok: Oregon Trail RV Road Trip Part 2

Welcome back to our modern journey on the Oregon Trail! In this video, we’re taking a step back in time to one of the most legendary stops along the route: the Rock Creek pony express station.

This isn’t just a historical park; it’s a place where you can feel the spirit of the old west. Will explore the fully restored buildings and outdoor sites cross the very same toll bridge that pioneers paid to use, and dive into the incredible high risk history of the pony express.

But rock Creek holds a much wilder secret. This station is the very spot where a young James Butler Hickcock began his reputation, cementing his status as “Wild Bill” the gunslinger in a legendary gun fight.

Join me as we uncover the stories of brave riders, fierce conflicts, and how this remote outpost played a crucial role in shaping both the Oregon Trail and the American West.
