SUMMARY:POSTPONED New Date TBD - Wood-Wheeled Vehicles Across the Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Wood-Wheeled Vehicles Across the Frontier \nThe 1800s were a time of remarkable change in the making of America\, and few forces shaped the nation more profoundly than transportation. From cowboys and homesteaders to miners\, soldiers\, merchants\, and families seeking new opportunities in the West\, wooden wagons\, buggies\, and stagecoaches carried ambition\, hardship\, determination\, and hope across a rugged and often unforgiving frontier. \nIn this engaging one-hour presentation\, “Wood-Wheeled Vehicles Across the Frontier\,” guests will discover the largely forgotten story of America’s early transportation industry—its vehicle makers\, innovations\, challenges\, and enduring craftsmanship. Presented in recognition of the United States’ 250th anniversary\, offers a fascinating look at the vehicles that helped propel westward expansion and shape the American story. \nFollowing the presentation\, participants will walk next door to the grounds of the 1855 Harris-Kearney Museum House for lemonade and cookies while viewing the surviving front axle and wheels from the historic covered wagon that stood at the corner of Westport Road and Southwest Trafficway from 1962 through 2024. \n          \nThere\, presenter David Sneed will continue the program with an interactive discussion of the artifact’s unique features\, explaining how details of its construction reveal where and when the wagon was manufactured and what they tell us about its history. Guests will have ample opportunity to ask questions and discuss wood-wheeled vehicles of the nineteenth century. Attendees are encouraged to bring photographs for discussion of farm\, freight\, ranch\, coach\, business\, and military vehicles that traversed America’s roads\, trails\, and frontier during the 1800s and early 1900s\, when horse power ruled transportation. \n   \nKnown for his commitment to historical accuracy\, Sneed has spent decades researching and documenting America’s wood-wheeled transportation heritage. His expertise has been sought by private collectors\, historical organizations\, museums\, corporations\, and media productions seeking to identify historic vehicles\, trace their origins\, establish manufacturing timeframes\, and uncover long-forgotten stories. Drawing upon extensive research\, archival resources\, and hands-on experience\, he will share insights into the innovations\, craftsmanship\, brands\, and technologies that helped build one of America’s most influential yet often overlooked industries. \nWhether you are interested in frontier history\, transportation\, craftsmanship\, genealogy\, or the American West\, this unique program offers a rare opportunity to learn from one of the nation’s leading authorities on historic wood-wheeled vehicles and the vital role they played in shaping the nation. \nJoin us for this afternoon of fun\, refreshments\, and connections with the past. We asked everyone to sign up\, please\, so we have enough refreshments for everyone. All ages are welcome and there is no charge to attend. \n
