According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Carriage_Museum): Don Remington (1914–1987), the man behind the Remington Museum, was a land owner, cattle rancher, developer, bridge builder and philanthropist. For 35 years, Don Remington and his wife Afton travelled across North America, Britain and the world to obtain then ship carriages back to restore. Don Remington himself was a coach-builder, carriage restorer and coach, carriage and sleigh historian and it is with first-hand knowledge that he restored the carriages in his collection. Many of the carriages in the Remington Museum were used in his lifetime. Remington served on the Board of Directors for the American Carriage Association, of which he was a lifetime member.
