Artifact
Richart Wagon Shop
Wagon makers Robert and William Richart offered many services out of this shop, built in Macon, Michigan, in 1847. In addition to building, painting and repairing wagons, the Richarts fixed tools, sharpened saws and even mended household furniture. The Richarts remained in business for over 50 years. The shop building was moved to Greenfield Village in 1941.
