Conestoga wagons were on of the most important vehicles in America in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. These wagons hauled freight, such as tobacco, corn, and other necessities. Three tradesmen build this wagon; they include: the wheelwright, the wainwright, and the blacksmith. The wheelwright made the wheels; the wainwright made the wagon bed; and the blacksmith made the iron work. Most conestoga wagons have a tool box on the left side, in which they kept their tools, such as a hammer pin, corncob and linch pins.
