TRIPLE BUCKBOARD
Body and gear in natural varnish finish. Trimmed with black leather.
Single and double buckboards are often found, but this triple buckboard is considered a rare example. It was made for Dr. E. D. Ferguson of Troy, New York about 1885 to his order in Glens Falls, New York. It descended to his grandson, the little boy sitting with his mother in the rear seat of the buckboard in the old photo below, who gave it to the museum in 1953.
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Everard Childs, Manchester, Vermont
