The Carriage Association of America (CAA) was founded in 1960 and is the
oldest and largest international organization devoted to the preservation
and restoration of horse-drawn carriages and sleighs. We have introduced
thousands of people to the wonders of collecting these vehicles and the
pleasures of driving them. We help our members discover the beauty and charm
of a life-style that has all but vanished from our modern world.
The Founding Members of the CAA had a bold dream, believing that there were many
fellow carriage enthusiasts in the nation, and knowing that, if they were
brought together, the shared knowledge would benefit us all. The Mission
Statement drawn up by these founders has remained the strong backbone of the
organization ever since.
THE CARRIAGE JOURNAL, our official publication, has
been distributed to our members without interruption for more than 40 years. Published
five times a year, it contains informative articles about a wide range of
subjects: driving, harnessing, restoration, preservation, history, and news
about meetings, clinics and shows.
THE JOURNAL also introduces its readers
to many of our members and their collections, and visits some of the great
museums around the world. Membership Benefits abound. To name just a few of
many, we sponsor special conferences, driving meets and overseas tours -
where members rub shoulders with some of the world's leading carriage
experts
Annual conferences are held in a variety of locations, with
seminars, drives, hands-on demonstrations, banquets and restoration
competitions. These conferences are always well attended and enjoyable.
