Dan,
You might check with the state historical site, Old Wade House Greenbush, WI
which as a large has a large collection of carriages as I suspect many have
been restored over the years.
Due to internet outage service may be too late for your meeting.

Thank you very much for the individual and his phone number. I am
collecting suggestions till our board meeting next week and will then
contact possibilities. Although I am from Ripon/Fond du Lac I never knew
there were Amish up in that area!
