We were thrilled to welcome Carriage Association of America, Inc. to Wade House this past weekend. The group toured our Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum, which was especially relevant since Jung was an important member of the CAA. They also got a behind the scenes sneak peek at some of our collection's vehicles not currently on display and, of course, toured the historic site.
Thank you for joining us. We had a great time sharing our site with you! ... See MoreSee Less
