The Senate Saloon
The saloon was renamed the "Senate
Saloon" after the first bar established in Santa Barbara. The Saloon was
located on the 500 block of State Street before the turn of the century. The
newly constructed saloon at the museum includes western saloon doors from
an historic saloon in Montana donated by John Mullins, a mirror behind the bar
naming the saloon, a one hundred year old sink used for ice, aged whiskey
bottles from the 1930's prohibition period, bottle holders and storage
cabinets.
Steve and Susan Engles contributed the funds
necessary to make the improvements.

First the Museum decorated a corner of the barn
area to look like a cantina. It was Chuck Pressley's vision (Past Vice
President) to make the saloon the beginnings of a western town. And so, here we
are three years later at Stagecoach Junction
With the building of Stagecoach Junction, we've enhanced the educational value
of a tour through the Carriage Museum by merging the vision of the town with the
experience of the children as they study the history of west.

Innovations designed and built the western town facades at the museum, recently named Stagecoach
Junction.
Aged wood, 100 year old and square nails were
just some of the materials used in the craftsmanship of this unique setting,
perfect for the western theme events hosted at the museum
