A stage coach is a relatively heavy coach, usually drawn by a pair. Size, design & weight of the vehicle, freight, number of people, and type & number of animals are all variables in how far or fast a vehicle can travel.Pat Roath, Curator of Collections

Subject: Re: Horse Carriage SpeedDoes anyone happen to have a rough figure for how fast the average horse-drawn carriage would have travelled over typical dirt roads (assuming it wasn't rainy or muddy, etc.)? Thank you!
