Review:
Conveniently located in Pershing Park near the Santa Barbara waterfront, The Carriage and Western Art Museum is a good place to bring the family to learn about early modes of transport. You and your children can admire the fine craftsmanship on over 40 restored vintage horse-drawn carriages and wagons, all of which were made between 1850 and 1911. Included in the fine collection is a genuine Los Olivos stagecoach, which used to transport up to twelve passengers and required a team of six strong horses. Along with a brilliant collection of saddles and bridles, the museum also showcases several examples of Western Art.
