About Us
History
The National Stagecoach & Freight Wagon Association (NSFWA) is a not-for-profit organization created to help detail the triumphs, struggles and day-to-day operation of these legendary vehicles within the extremely competitive, early commercial empires they supported.
We were founded in 2008 by a group of people who saw the need for an organization that focused on the commercial stagecoach and freight wagon. Learn more about our founders.
