Video: Holiday horse carriage rides draw crowds, controversy

Minnie Lou Jamison driving an “old fashioned Phaeton” carriage on the #UNCG campus in the late 1930s/early 1940s.

Minnie Lou Jamison was one of the students enrolled when the doors of State Normal opened in 1892. In 1896, she accepted a teaching position in the home economics department. Her extension work and her volunteer work during WWI made her much beloved on campus and across North Carolina.

Sketch design of a wagon from my made-up town, Clover Vale. I’m just making up a random human town to fit into WoW for right now, because that’s fun and I like it.

The wagon has cargo space on top of it, and a canvas cover. There’s a glass lamp hanging from the top in the shape of a red clover, as well as windows and doors decorated with clover motifs. Every so often, a few of these wagons travel to larger cities to peddle the local goods from Clover Vale, and when they return, they divide the earnings among contributing parties. As the tiny mountain village sees very little traffic, this is the only way they ever reach the outside world.
