Who We are

Curtis

Myron and Betty Lou Curtis started collecting horse drawn vehicles and sleighs of all types as well as period equipment in 1970. They eventually accumulated over 100 horse drawn vehicles and thousands of period artifacts which offer snapshots of the Victorian era through Industrial revolution in the United States. This collection is one of the largest  and most diverse assemblages of horse drawn conveyances in the United States.  

The Curtis Horse Drawn Transportation Collection is comprised of many rare and high quality vehicles with international, regional and local significance that were collected during many years of extensive travel in the United States and Canada. Many of the vehicles have been partially or completely renovated while others are in original condition. 

Heritage

The Curtis’ recognized the value of remembering one’s heritage. Along with the Curtis Collection, they researched the origins and uses of the items in the collection. The technologies used to make the items in the Curtis Collection were used in everyday life. These technologies are the basis of technologies used today. Knowing where we came from will help us find where we are going. 

education

We currently offer a variety of programs to local area school children with an emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) using our collection to showcase innovation and critical thinking.
