About the event
Members of the Wappingers Historical Society are invited to visit Dick Lahey’s home for a barn tour of his horse-drawn carriage and sleigh collection. There are approximately 25 carriages and sleighs, with many having been built or owned by Hudson Valley residents. Among the oldest carriages is one built in the 1860’s in Hughsonville.
The barn tour will begin at 2:00pm and last approximately one hour. Please note that many of the vehicles are on the second floor of the barn, accessible by a wide staircase with railing.
Due to space limitations, this event is only for WHS members. Please RSVP so that we can provide you with the address of the barn.
