Driving Club to lead carriage presentation
The Aiken Driving Club’s carriage presentation offers an opportunity to learn more about what was once the most common mode of transportation in this country while playing a prominent role in shaping the area’s history.
Several members of the Driving Club will share their wide breadth of knowledge about carriages, horses and carriage driving at The Carriage Museum in Hopelands Gardens on May 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with the presentation “Carriage Driving in Your Backyard.”
“This is a way for the Aiken Driving Club to promote carriage driving to the general public,” said Diane Mansur of the Aiken Driving Club. “We’ll have a number of members in attendance who will be able to answer questions about the carriages in the museum and about the carriages that will be brought to the presentation by club members.”
The carriages on display at the museum evoke images of a previous era, but those attending the event will have an opportunity to see those carriages used in pleasure driving events and a marathon carriage used in Combined Driving Events.
“There will also be videos of different driving events,” Mansur said.
