The Carriage Museum
A range of horse-drawn carriages from the 19th and early 20th centuries fills the Carriage Museum. This unique collection presents a broad scope of two- and four-wheeled vehicles and sleighs. From the basic horse-drawn conveyance that characterized the 19th-century rural scene to utility vehicles and sporting rigs to pleasure carts to veteran vehicles from the harness track. One drawing much interest is the 12-horse hitch wagon from the Genesee Brewing Company, a local brewer that is still in business in the region.
