Summary
This historic 1928 pony-drawn covered wagon completed a four-year, 60,000-mile world tour with Walter “Roady Bill” Benson, appearing at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. It was later acquired by the Henry Ford Museum and then by the current seller in 1982. The wagon's body and canvas top are extensively decorated with plates, labels, and painted words documenting its incredible journey across multiple continents.
