A man in a dark suit and white hat is seen standing on the corner of a split rail fence outside of one of the buildings at the Pony Express Museum. A totem pole is seen in the background. Parker Lyons collected over a million pieces of western memorabilia and displayed them in several buildings in six acres at the corner of Huntington Drive and Colorado Blvd in Arcadia.
