Tow Scow

Tow Scow Journey along the Village canal on our horse drawn tow scow! The scow can seat approximately 60 people and travels along the canal from the tenant farm to the heart of the village.

The tow scow is a flat hulled barge that is drawn along the canal by a horse walking along the bank. Two villagers (one at the bow, and one at the stern) help steer the scow using long poles. In typical village life, the scow would be used to transport heavy goods to mills and other distant locations.

There is no additional charge to ride in the tow scow.
