The Fire Horse
For 60 short years the Fire Horse reigned supreme in American cities. When the alarm sounded the horses galloped out of the fire station followed by throngs of running spectators and children on bicycles. As Loula Long Combs wrote in her book, My Revelation, “I wish I had the great gift of a painter of word pictures that I might be able to give you a faint idea of the most thrilling of all horse-drawn vehicles, the fire engine. It thrilled the very young as well as the very old. In the language of today,  “If you  have never seen a  horse-drawn fire engine, you ‘aint seen nuthin’ !”

Coaching in the Gilded Age
Today the word “coaching” means something quite different, but 100 or more years ago it referred to driving four horses put to a coach, known as a “a four-in-hand.” This was an important method for carrying the mail and people from town to town in England in past centuries. Eventually, in the Gilded Age, individuals began to drive private coaches for sport and pleasure. Join us on a rollicking adventure of lifestyles in the Gilded Age.
