The History of The Whippletree name....


We've been told by some locals that back in the horse and buggy days, whippletrees were repaired and swapped out in the area near The Whippletree Restaurant.  We'd love to hear more stories regarding our history.   If you have anything to add, please email Wesley at

The two photos below are Whippletrees, used when horses (etc.) pull wagons.
Objects in the photos are really called "single trees"- using two of them makes a Whippleree.
Whippletree: a pivoted or swinging bar to which the traces, or tugs, of a harness are fastened, and by which a carriage, a plow, or the like, is drawn.  A single-tree can be a whippletree if the item being drawn is a one-horse implement, e.g. shay, sleigh, etc.
