- Red River Cart Replica, circa 1925 - From the 1820s to the 1850s, hundreds of these simple, rugged carts transported annual supplies to the Red River Valley settlements of Minnesota and Manitoba, Canada. On return trips, the carts -- each drawn by a single ox -- carried meat, furs, and skins to St. Paul. This replica was probably built for exhibition by the Great Northern Railway.
