York County has long had a love affair with wheels.
As the first county in Pennsylvania west of the Susquehanna River, its borders would naturally contain roads pointing to all compass points, crossing and veering off by themselves.
With the roads, came wagons. Farm wagons. Conestoga Wagons.
With increasing affluence, came buggies. And carriages. And coaches
And to produce all these wheeled conveyances, came wagon makers - large and small.
And then automakers.
Jim Miller who name is given to Codorus Township's The Miller Carriage and Wagon Museum has been collecting wagons and buggies and carriages for years... .
