A serious case of wagon envy.

.

The antique transportation museum is always a favorite at the Fryeburg Fair.

.

.

They have some truly amazing, well restored vehicles.

.

.

Beautiful, but I can’t imagine traveling across country in one.

.

.

Even back then they knew discussing politics and religion was a sure way to ruin a journey.

Sharing your bottle on the other hand, is a sure way to make instant friends.

My husband always has wagon envy when walking around this building.

.

.

Or maybe he just wanted a beer.

I loved this little Swedish ice sleigh. Wife on the seat in front, husband in back.

.

A hearse, complete with laying out table.

.

.

I hustled my spouse right past this sign before he could read it.

One antique carriage in our shed is more than enough.

.

.

Outside, we found this one… which is very similar to the one he bought, though in a bit better shape.

Fryeburg Fair, part seven… wagons and carts and beer. Oh my.

.

Aside from wall to wall cows, my other favorite part of the Fryeburg fair is the carriage museum.

.

These beauties are well cared for and painstakingly restored to their former glory.

Spit on the leeward side. There must be a reason for that…

.

A fire hose cart.

.

.

Gypsy wagon.

.

.

Pretty tight living quarters.

.

.

All cars go to Bloomies.

.

.

Snake oil peddler’s wagon.

.

.

Now that’s a beer cart.

.

.

This hearse was fabulous… and delightfully creepy.
