Yes me too and often wish I was living in those simple wonderful days even though I'm not that far from it. In fact I know a lady in the Freehold, New York area who used her horse an buggie for her transportation right up to 2007 ! She was a friend of my Mom's. So in some places these wagons are still being used. And I read of a town in Michigan that has never allowed any vehicles in it to this day - they still use horse an buggie and horse travel in that town. And it's a beautiful place with huge homes that look like mansions.
Love this - just wish the cameraman would have followed the features more. WE love to see the details ! Wonder if you have seen the actual Stage Coach from the Greenville New York that has been used in movies and where is that Stage Coach now ? ? It traveled daily from Greenville to Coxsackie to Athens and many people from that time that are alive today tell of it. They took a picture of it and I have a copy of that picture. When it re-visited to that original area kids from the 50's took a picture riding it. It's still in working order. Those kids now older adults wonder where it is now. Must have been made very well and strong to still be able to be used. I'm still amazed how it does not topple over with so much weight at the top as it is made so narrow - only 8 foot wheel spread. I know they did that because of some train wheel spacing set up but why have they not widened it since ? Never knew why they never widened it. They also made cars wheel spread from this same pattern. Looks so top heavy. The original Stage Coach from the Greenville, New Your area is still being used in TV and movies today - such a well made Stage Coach to still be going. I think is was made in the early 1880's Supposedly still being used in movies and TV series like Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Would like to see the usual family wagons and how they are made . Would love to also see your shop there where you are and the stages a wagon goes though to be made. This is so interesting to many of us. And who makes the Amish wagons that are so different ? How solid are those made since they run on our today's roads ? ==
I like seeing the older wagons. I have a question for a modern version that can be taken off road and doesn't need air for tires. A 4 season camper that a horse or preferably a mule can pull. Do you have any suggestions? How do I know the weight limit of horse or mule? Do I test up hill instead of level? ground?
@@stephenleach4485 - similar to those yes. I imagine the Pika by Timberleaf trailers or the Hélio O2 trailer from Quebec with wagon type wheels that have great off road abilities that can be pulled by a draft mule or horse ( Tennessee walker maybe?) Something similar that can be pulled by horse or mule that isn't dependent gas or electric . You know what I mean? I was really wondering about this subject. Sadly I have found nothing.
That date at the end there - 1883 - sounds like a long time ago ... and I suppose it is ... but then I think, it's slightly later the birth year of my oldest grandparent. And it's not like I'm ancient ... I'm in my sixties.
I have all the metal off of a old horse drawn wagon I dug out of a friend's yard I want to give it away hate to scrap it the metal is in good shape and seems to be complete even down to the brake lever with knob, one small piece of wood is green, I am in southern West Virginia can meet
Josh, you could list this stuff on our swap meet page of our website. No charge for it. Just fill out the form and give your contact information. www.ruralheritage.com/new_rh_website/sale_barn/swap_meet/swap_meet_form.php
Do you know where I can get some plans for a horse drawn cart/wagon using ply, wood, and modern axles etc. I am after a quick build option, functionality over looks.
Hi. We mulled this over, but haven't come up with a resource that fits your parameters, yet. We don't suppose our video of Ralph Rice's Bradley Wagon helps at all? ruclips.net/video/CxxTRKk7YZg/видео.html
WOW " he really knows his craft " I just love this period in our history "

Like a sheepherders wagon? Or Gypsy Caravan?

This video was a uploaded a few months before Covid
Random question. Could you still pull a wagon if it only had three wheels?
How much would you charge to build a Chuck wagon and a buck board?
Any examples of the Gestring Wagon company from St. Louis?
