Going to Travel Like it is 1895

At the San Juan Bautista State Historic Park, my daughter and I saw some very cool rides. Not from the 21st century or the 20th but from the 19th century. The rides were how people got around back in the day:

The Hotel Hollister Wagon. It was the hotel's limo
Park Phaeton
Your basic Mud/Chuck Wagon- A kitchen on wheels
Hunting Wagon
1890's Wagon Bus. The public transportation of the day
Water Wagon
1895 Piano Box Buggy
Beer Wagon


Fringe Top Surrey Wagon (1865-1870)
And finally:

A Baroche Wagon. This was the Rolls Royce of wagons.
It was cool looking at the transportation of 125 years ago or so.

    While these are super photos and it sure makes me appreciate our "covered vehicles" of today. Very interesting display!

    These are very cool rides! The Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, VT has a very similar display of carriages and wagons. (I took a ton of pics. too!)

      It would be an interesting ride to say the least.

    Wanted to stop by & take a gander & naturally I knew it would be spectacular, but I got to hit the hay – having a procedure done at 6:30 a.m. at the hospital. A prayer or two wouldn’t hurt if you please. The procedure is supposed to take all my pain away! Praise the Lord. Wish me luck!

    oh I love love love these!!! I wish we still did travel around like this. My grandfather has several wagons and buggies that he used for anything from fairs, to city tours... to a really fancy coach for weddings. I went to the church for my wedding in one!

    It is interesting to look back at how horse drawn vehicles used to be the only way to travel, but now its a way for tourists to have a little fun (at least around here it is)

    We have been to a living historic museum not too long ago and saw many of these, too. Quite fascinating, right?
