The Transportation Barn houses a collection of wagons and coaches representing frontier transportation. The settlement of Jackson Hole was accomplished before paved highways and modern vehicles. Covered wagons brought families full of hope to a new home in Jackson Hole. Other wagons hauled supplies and mail. Imagine a couple riding the Peter Hansen buggy home from an all-night dance. Or picture early visitors in the yellows coaches bumping over dusty, rutted roads to the valley's first dude ranches, the JY and the Bar BC. Think about moving logs with the primitive set of axles or riding for hours in this exposed buggy.
