Artifact Overview
Door-to-door delivery of milk and other dairy products began in the late 1800s. Milk spoiled quickly. Before mechanical refrigerators were common, fresh bottles were delivered daily. Horse-drawn dairy delivery wagons were used well into the 20th century. Horses knew their routes and could follow as their drivers walked alongside and made deliveries.
