Mifflinburg Buggy Museum

Discover, Preserve, and Celebrate "Buggy Town"

Step into history at The Mifflinburg Buggy Museum, where we bring the story of "Buggy Town" to life! Our mission is to collect, preserve, and share the unique heritage of Mifflinburg, once a bustling hub of carriage-making craftsmanship.

Our museum is a treasure trove of unique experiences. It is
home to the only fully intact 19th-century carriage factory open to the public in the United States. Here, you can explore the original Heiss family home, the Repository showroom, the historic carriage factory, and our reconstructed Carriage House, which showcases not only buggies but also early automobiles.

But our collection extends beyond the Heiss family’s legacy—it tells the broader story of Mifflinburg’s people, businesses, and way of life. From historic photographs and personal letters to clothing, tools, ledgers, and rare marketing materials, each artifact is a unique piece of our town’s past, waiting to be discovered.

At the Mifflinburg Buggy Museum, history is not just a story, it's an experience! Step into our preserved buildings, interact with our rotating exhibitions in the modern Visitor Center, and immerse yourself in the variety of events we offer throughout the year.
