Stowe
Carriage House
In 1980, Belmont textile executive Daniel J. Stowe located a group of magnificently restored horse-drawn vehicles that belonged to a local collector. He purchased twelve sleighs and carriages and donated them to the museum for its first permanent collection.
A carriage gallery opened in the store building annex as the Wheels and Runners exhibit in 1984.
The Stowe Carriage House opened on October 3, 1991.
