The Midway Stage Station is a historic building in Gothenburg, Nebraska. It was built in 1859, and expanded in 1860–1861.[1] Initially built as a station for the Leavenworth City & Pike's Peak Express Company, it served as a station for the Pony Express from the 1860s to the late 1870s.[1] In 1879, it was purchased by Henry Laurens Williams, who turned the building into a cabin on his Lower 96 Ranch.[1] By the 1960s, the ranch had been inherited by his grandson.[1] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 15, 1969.
