| Buckboard: wooden wheels with iron cladding made in Bar Harbor Great Cranberry Island Historical Society |

|  Buckboard: wooden wheels with iron cladding made in Bar Harbor Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Carriage. Buckboard, two beige upholstered bench seats with upholstered backs, and matching beige carpet floor mats, wooden whip holder, thin red lines painted as decoration on seat sides and other areas, brass tag reads: "Davis B.H. B.C. Bar Harbor, Me". Wooden wheels with iron cladding. From the old barn at the Red House - the Towns/Lim house. Willie Granston December 2016: "…. The buckboard is in really good condition…. I know of only two Davis Buckboards on MDI, and neither is this model. One is privately owned by Martha Stewart, and one is a really sweet little 2 seater with a rear groomsman's seat owned by Bar Harbor Historical Society and kept at Seal Cove Auto Museum. The buckboard at Seal Cove is missing its bottom cushion, and Martha's has been reupholstered, so those cushions, with the flaps, are super important. ...This is really important object." The Living Past,Virginia Somes-Sanderson p. 229: "People came in droves from Bar Harbor, some in their private carriages, often with coachmen and footmen, others in hired vehicles, but the majority in buckboards. These riding conveyances had rows of seats, all facing front; the largest carried fifteen persons, but theer were others built for ten, seven, five, four and two passengers ... Unfortunately, the tax on them became so high that the owners could not make them pay, so they disappeared from the scene." The donor recalls: "The buckboard has been there all my life. I'm quite sure it came with the property. I would imagine it's been there since the Crosbys owned the barn-- if not before. I believe that they owned it around 1915 because there was a drawing of a heart on a barn stall shutter with one of the Crosby boys' names and some girl's name and the date, I think it was 1915. As children, my friends and I used to play "Wagon Train" (an old, old TV show) on it. I was always Flint McCullough. He was my favorite, played by the actor, Robert Horton. Ward Bond played the Wagonmaster on TV. Whoever played his part on the buckboard would wave their arm forward and yell. "Wagons---ho !" We were all girls, as I recall, (I do remember pitching apples at and with Clayton Savage and Dickie Haydock but I don't think we let them play Wagon Train.)"
