NC Transportation Museum
The Back Shop is the largest building on the grounds of the North Carolina Transportation Museum. When it was constructed in 1905 for Spencer Shops, it was the largest industrial building in the state. It was used for the complete overhaul of steam locomotives. The North Carolina Transportation Museum is located in Spencer, North Carolina. It is a great place to visit for “Kids” of all ages. Coleman enjoyed it when he was only two.

Railway Cars located at The North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina. The Museum has several Trains, Train Engines, Airplanes, Antique Cars and other transportation vehicles on display for visitors to see for a minimal cost.
I took Coleman to the North Carolina Transportation Museum back in 2021 just after he turned 2. He loved seeing the variety of transportation vehicles on display.

Melville Dairy Horse-Drawn Wagon
The Melville Dairy operated in Burlington, North Carolina for forty (40) years from 1927 to 1967.
It used Horse-Drawn Wagon during its early years of operation in and around Burlington. It was founded by brothers Ralph Henderson Scott Sr. and Henry A. Scott.
It first sold dairy products directly from the family farm in the Hawfields community. By 1935, the brothers had built a plant in Burlington to process and sell milk from their own farm and other local dairies. Eventually, 150 farms provided milk to Melville Dairy Products
Coleman and myself saw this Melville Dairy Wagon on display when we visited The North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina back in 2021. [He loved seeing all the automobiles, carriage, airplanes and trains.] It was restored by Byron Hargrove Siler City, NC.
All information regarding this Melville Dairy Wagon was obtained from the NC Transportation Museum.

God Bless. Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
This Honda Goldwing Coleman’s checking out is similar to one his maternal Pawpaw and I had back in the mid-1980’s shortly after we were married. His Pawpaw mostly road it to work, but we also rode it together when we could get his parents to watch our eldest son [he was four (Coleman’s age now) at the time]. We enjoyed riding it, however, we sold it when we moved from California to Arkansas. It’s too bad that Coleman won’t ever get the opportunity to go riding with his Pawpaw like his Uncles did so long ago.
