Carriage Collection
The museum's carriage collection began with the vehicles owned by Dr. William Seward Webb and his wife Lila Vanderbilt Webb. Today it has come to include 225 horse-drawn vehicles. Since many of these vehicles came straight from their respective owners, many still retain their original upholstery and decoration.

Who, having failed of the modern speed,
Now asked asylum and I was stirred
To be the one so dog-preferred.”
