The Conestoga wagon pulled by a team of six horses. Made in Conestoga, Pennsylvania. |

Close up of he wheel. Remember, this is a miniature model that was built by Sam Martzell. The brake can be seen in front of the wheel. |
You can see the tongue coming from the wagon and going between the first two horses. It connected the team to the wagon. The rider would sit close to the wagon. |
The wooden box at the rear would hold feed for the horses. The canvas roof is slanted in front and rear to keep out the rain and snow as well as shade the wagon from the sun. |
