Thank you, David and David.  I'd also like to thank Martha Katz-Hyman for
forwarding my query to the ALHFAM e-mail list group.  All the advice is
very much appreciated.

To answer some questions in the last e-mail, no, we do not plan on
recreating a fire station with this building. That is a possibility for a
future project. At this point, we are looking for a storage building in
which to best preserve the wagons.  We do hope to display and interpret
them through signage and a museum volunteer on site during special
events.  The main design of the building will be for storage and security,
however.

Two of the wagons are from the 1800s and are wooden and hand-drawn.  The
third is circa 1950 and is motorized.  That is a very good point about the
possibility of leaking oil. I worked at a site where this was a problem
with stored vehicles.  We certainly don't want the 1950s vehicle to leak
oil on the older wooden wagons.

Thanks again for the help,
Stephanie,
Town of Wytheville, Virginia, Department of Museums
