SUMMARY:Engineering the Lewis Big Hitch Ore Wagons with Doug Hansen
DESCRIPTION:An Up-Close Look at the Ingenuity Behind Ketchum’s Ore Wagons
  with Wagonmaker Doug Hansen\\n\\nWhen you need to restore an antique ore w
 agon\, who do you turn to? Doug Hansen was the obvious choice when the Cit
 y of Ketchum needed to restore the ore wagons because he is the nation's pr
 emier restorer and builder of historically accurate wagons.\\n\\nOn the Thu
 rsday afternoon of Wagon Days weekend\, Doug Hansen will lead an interactiv
 e exploration of the engineering\, operation\, and ingenuity of Ketchum’s
  Lewis Ore Wagons. The complete hitch will be on display on Fourth Street o
 utside the Wood River Museum of History + Culture and Hansen will explain h
 ow these massive freighting vehicles were built to meet the demanding condi
 tions of the Wood River Valley and surrounding mining districts. The progra
 m offers a rare opportunity to examine the wagons up close alongside the ex
 pert entrusted with their repair and restoration work.\\n\\nBuilt for H. C.
  Lewis’s Ketchum Fast Freight operation\, the massive freighting wagons s
 erved the mining communities of central Idaho. They carried ore from remote
  mountain mines down to the smelters and returned to the mines with food\, 
 mule feed\, tools\, equipment\, dynamite\, and other provisions needed to s
 ustain isolated mining camps.\\n\\nDoug Hansen turned a youthful passion fo
 r old-world craftsmanship into an internationally renowned business still r
 ooted on family land in Letcher\, S.D. Hansen Wheel & Wagon Shop has restor
 ed and built wagons and stagecoaches for museums\, theme parks\, film and T
 V productions\, collectors\, reenactors and people who just plain like to t
 ravel by wagon. This talk is presented by the City of Ketchum in coordinati
 on with the Wood River Museum of History + Culture.\\n\\nRegistration encou
 raged\, but not required. The event will be held on 4th Street in front of 
 the Wood River Museum\, where the Ore Wagons will be staged all day Thursda
 y\, September 3.
