Wagon Land Adventure - Part 11 (Wear's Harness Shop - Part 1)

 

Eli opening up Ware's Harness Shop

We next stopped at a smaller building with the sign Wear's Harness Shop displayed prominently above the door. Eli shared the stories of how miracles happened to bring this building to fruition. It is dedicated to the late Jim Wear, a harness-maker from Laramie, Wyoming. It houses tons of harnesses and harness-making equipment, as well as collections of harness brasses, other harness parts, books, and pictures.

So much to see, but that isn't all of it - harnesses are up next!

  1. I would love to see that collection of bridle rosettes! I have a few in my own collection, but his is extensive!
