The buckboard wagon is a distinctly American four-wheeled utility wagon of simple construction meant to be drawn by a horse or other large animal. The only suspension is provided by the flexible floorboards of the body and a leaf spring under the seat. Over uneven terrain the, floor can flex and “buck”, which contributed to its name. Some historians consider the buckboard wagon the precursor to the modern utility pick-up truck. This buckboard was captured at the Cedarock Historical Farm near Burlington, North Carolina.

The New York State Capitol has served as the seat of government for New York since the 1880s. The building is a marvel of late 19th-century architectural grandeur. Under the direction of five architects, the Capitol was built by hand of solid masonry over a period of 32 years. By 1899 its cost had exceeded twenty-five million dollars.
