    In front of the Train Depot.
    The Jackson G Smith firm manufactured 11,000 buggies a year during its existence, and at least three other companies besides Smith's produced buggies here between 1865 and 1910. Their craftsmanship became world famous-hence, the "Buggy Capital of the World" centered here in Barnesville. It is a proud tradition that we still celebrate every year.
