Carriage and Western Art Museum
Museums / Galleries, Santa Barbara
Fodor's Review:
The country's largest collection of old horse-drawn vehicles -- painstakingly restored -- is exhibited here. Everything from polished hearses to police buggies to old stagecoaches and circus vehicles is on display. In August the Old Spanish Days Fiesta borrows many of the vehicles for a jaunt about town. This is one of the city's true hidden gems, a wonderful place to help history come alive -- especially for children.
