Wells Fargo & Co.

The old Wells Fargo & Co.  building in Old Sacramento just oozes history.

On July 1, 1861, Wells Fargo took over direct management of the trans-Missouri Pony Express line. This building was the end point of the Pony Express and mail was take from here to river boats, moored just one block away, which carried the mail to San Francisco.

Wells Fargo is also famous for its association with the six-horse stagecoach which stemmed from Wells Fargo’s real history of using, owning, guarding, and operating them. So it is fitting to see a coach (one horse) here in front of this historic building.
