The Mifflinburg Buggy Museum
is the only known preserved 19th century carriage shop. From the
late 1800s to the early 1900s William A. Heiss manufactured a quality line
of horse-drawn vehicles in his coachworks. The museum shows how the
buggy building industry employed the skills of painters, blacksmiths, carpenters,
trimmers, machinists, and wheelwrights. The doors to Mr. Heiss's
shop were closed more than fifty years ago and now today it has been reopened
to reveal an orginal shop, virtually intact, with tools, machines, and
equipment.
