This is an excellent display piece for museums and historic sites wanting to portray the story of western expansion. Hand-crafted wheels, running gear and box are made of hickory, ash and poplar.
Finished in the traditional colors of the prairie schooner using a antique patina to give it the feel of having seen miles of historic wagon trails. Hand-forged hardware replicates the detailing on original Prairie Schooners. If you would like information prior to purchase, call 605-996-8754.

Q&A
Question: How do you ship this vehicle to me?
Answer: We coordinate shipments of large freight items - such as our wagons, carriages, and coaches - within a network of private carriers so that your freight is safely transported to your destination without transfer. These are usually coordinated as partial loads in order to save costs, so it can take anywhere between 2 days to 2 weeks to find a ride. They will be transported in enclosed vans that vary from "U-Haul" size box vans to full 53' semi trailers. Contact us for more information and freight quotes. You may also arrange your own shipping through uship.com.
Question: How do I offload this vehicle at delivery?
Answer: If you have a delivery location with a loading dock available this is your best option. However, we can also deliver to any location that a semi-trailer can access. We then recommend coordination with a towing service to use a tilt-bed wrecker truck. The vehicle can be rolled off the trailer on to the bed of the wrecker truck and it will be tilted/lowered down to the ground from there.
