HUMBOLDT — Back in the day, before automobiles became the transportation mode of choice, folks rode in horse-drawn carriages.
And those carriages broke down.
Charles Lander of Humboldt found his niche to serve the community by fixing wagons, carriages, buggies, phaetons, etc.
He set up shop in the 400 block of Bridge Street.
In the 150 years since then Lander’s shop has remained.
On Sunday, the Allen County Historical Society will take a closer look at the Lander Carriage House, 403 Bridge St., for its 2017 spring meeting.
Tours of the carriage house will be offered at 2 o’clock.
The tours are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
The carriage house is on the National Register of Historic Places.
