Artifact Overview
The general-purpose farm wagon was one of the most important horse-drawn vehicles in rural America. While most came with square bodies, their sizes varied for use with from one to four horses. This wagon's seat and upper side boards were removeable to accommodate different loads. With the body removed, the running gear could be used to haul logs or lumber.
