Whether you’re looking for the perfect
spring seat to complete a wagon, need help determining a maker name, or are trying to figure out how a certain thing was crafted ‘back-in-the-day,” it's not always easy for western vehicle enthusiasts to know where to get the right information. Thankfully, that’s one of the great benefits of getting to know folks with similar interests. After all, it often takes more than
individual diligence to locate crucial details. Ultimately, we all need help from time to
time. It’s why networking with
like-minded enthusiasts can be so helpful to collectors, historians, museums,
and vehicle owners.
To that point, I recently received some
interesting information from Jim Pomajevich with the National Stagecoach &
Freight Wagon Association. This great
group of folks is holding their 11th Annual Conference in early
spring of 2018. One of the most notable
aspects of this gathering is the packed roster of activities and learning
opportunities. It’s such an impressive
lineup that I thought I’d pass along some details this week. Hopefully, the heads-up is early enough to
allow everyone a chance to make the March 15-18, 2018 event.
Over a dozen speakers are slated to
address a wide range of topics; everything from M.P. Henderson wagons and
stagecoaches as well as details on ambulances, blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, a
look at East & West stagecoach variations, overland trails, and much more. Ultimately, the get-together should be a rare opportunity to network and
get up-close to a lot of quality, period vehicles.

particulars on the National Stagecoach & Freight Wagon Association website.
