From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, William A. Heiss operated a successful buggy making business. However, the growing demand for the novel automobile could not be stopped.  The horse-drawn vehicles began to grow scarce.  During the 1920s, William A. Heiss closed the doors of his once successful carriage making operation, leaving it subject to chance and the passage of time. More than 50 years later the doors were reopened to reveal an original shop virtually intact: dried belting and pulleys, tools, machinery, and forges. It was as if his workers had simply walked away.
