HAGERMAN, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The Hagerman Valley Historical Society Museum is building a garage to house a 1909 auto buggy car with ties to the town’s history.
Tom Gaskins, a car committee member for the museum, said he came across the car in Kimberly. He said he learned it was first bought in Hagerman and saw a photo of it on old Main Street, which started the effort to bring it back to town.
“It represents the when the town was just getting power. I mean, there’s a picture of a power pole in the back with no lines on it. There’s a picture of a horse and a car. So it’s representing the time when America was changing from riding horses to cars. And it’s a it’s a great period of time that the whole country has gone through,” Gaskins said…
