OUR CARRIAGES
time travel with a view
At Aaron & Jessica’s, we like to use the market wagon carriage frame. We have several enclosed carriages modified to allow the sides to roll up for you to gaze at the countryside during the warm weather or remain closed with clear siding to still see out!
For larger groups, we worked with our local Amish carriage makers to design a larger spring wagon that can transport a few families at time. All of our “spring wagons” are designed with a roof on top for inclement weather. This style wagon dates back to the 1880s and was called a “surrey”.
What Type of Buggies, Carriages And Wagons Do Amish Use?
CLOSED CARRIAGE – This is the typical Amish buggy you will see traveling our country roads in the colder months. The carriages are designed to provide privacy for the family. This specific style is not designed for “sightseeing”.
AMISH BUGGIES – There are many different types of Amish buggies that a family may own. An Amish family may own several styles of carriages and carts and use a different one depending on weather, travel or transport needs.
Different style carriages include:
- “Sunday” carriage (the typical closed carriage)
- Market wagon/pick-up (2 seater with open bed in back for large item transport)
- Spring wagon (open carriage with side seating in back)
- Spring carts (a two-wheeled cart)
- Pony carts (2 or 4-wheeled carts designed for ponies and miniature horses
“An Amish buggy ride is like teleporting to the past. It was so wonderful to have this experience.”
