Covered wagons

Covered wagons are sturdy, four-wheeled vehicles historically used for transportation and migration across rough terrains, especially during the 19th century American westward expansion. Designed with a wooden frame, they are covered by a canvas tarp to protect passengers and cargo from weather. These wagons were essential for pioneers traveling long distances, often carrying families, supplies, and equipment. They were typically pulled by teams of horses, mules, or oxen and played a crucial role in settling new territories, offering both mobility and shelter during arduous journeys.
