Dairy Wagon

Steam Pumper


Milk delivery wagons were always neat, clean, well painted and gave an impression of freshness. Frequently the milkman would carry his racks of bottles across four or five backyards, delivering as he went. When he appeared between two houses to get another load of milk, there would be his horse and wagon. The horse learned the route and knew when to advance on his own.


Mrs. Winmill purchased the dairy wagon while visiting her granddaughter in Texas.
RESTORED in 2006 by Green Carriage Restoration & Museum, Orient, Ohio
