Please note that the Studebaker wagon may be placed in storage to protect it from the elements during the winter season.
The Studebaker brothers began their enterprise in South Bend, Indiana. The Studebaker name was as recognizable as Murphy on the trail. As blacksmiths, they provided the hardware for many of the early wagon manufacturers. Nearly every wagon making the journey westward had their components and spare parts. They would later expand into manufacture ring wagons for emigrants and freighting companies.
The influence of the family and their adaptive skills would extend into the modern era with the design and production of the Studebaker automobile.
The Studebaker wagon at Scotts Bluff was purchased by the Monument in 2009.
