 Milk Delivery
Wagon- "S.C. Price Daily Farms" (circa 1915)The Price Dairy operated the Cold Springs Farm in St. Johns, Pennsylvania, and another farm in nearby Conyngham, stocked with herds of Guernsey cows. The dairy delivered milk from the 1930s to the 1960s (when the horse-drawn wagons were deemed traffic hazards!). The dairy delivered between 400 and 500 quarts of fresh milk daily. Full-bred Belgian horses were used to pull the wagons. |

Sicilian Cart,
circa 1750 A utility cart used to haul produce, wine or cheese. Each cart was unique and the ironwork hand forged. The handler walked beside the cart. The painted panels tell the story of Count Alfredo's heroism in war, his meeting the beautiful maiden Genoeffa and making her his queen. Underneath the cart is the inscription, "Friends, ...it is better for you to envy me than pity me." |
