Try the Old Wade House in Greenbush, Wisconsin, halfway between Sheboygan and
Fond du Lac. This was a "halfway house" or inn for people travelling between
the two towns during the days of horse travel. The WP&L interurban never closed
this gap.
The museum has a building filled with horse drawn conveyances, including a
hearse (talk about a "hearse and wagon.")
