Painting Description

Until the year 2000, within the Old Order Mennonite group, only the aged and the clergy were allowed to drive dachwegles (covered wagons). These carriages were invariably two-person vehicles. Now anyone can drive one of these specialized vehicles, so multi-seated covered buggies are starting to appear. Perhaps they are the equivalent of the mini-van. Proof once again that things do change within even the most conservative groups.
