Wagon Makers
Wagon makers were skilled craftsmen who built and repaired various types of wagons used for transportation in the 19th century. They crafted wooden frames, wheels, and other components, often customizing each wagon to meet the specific needs of their customers. Their work was essential for farmers, traders, and travelers who relied on wagons for moving goods and people.
As the demand for wagons grew, so did the need for specialized tools and techniques. Many wagon makers operated small workshops, where they honed their skills and created durable vehicles. The rise of the automobile in the early 20th century eventually led to a decline in the wagon-making trade, but their legacy remains in the history of transportation.
