WELCOME  to Cavanaugh's Carriages  

We are a 140 acre family owned farm located just outside of Neenah, Wisconsin. Our family has lived here since 1971 and we have developed an old western town where people of all ages and learn, laugh, and enjoy! We are not Disney based by any means, nor a franchise, however, if you want a taste of great Wisconsin living, Cavanaugh’s Carriages is the place.

 Rodger and Jan Cavanaugh are essentially the glue and grease that has kept this farm thriving for so many years.

 Rodger was born and raised on a farm in South Dakota. After moving to Wisconsin, he developed the old western town in the backyard. He taught science for the Neenah schools for 30 years, and even though he’s retired, he’ll always be a teacher when he’s taking you on a horse drawn hayride. You will learn about agriculture, wildlife, and wetlands in a method appropriate for all ages.

 Wife Jan worked at one of the Neenah elementary schools for 14 years. Her love of animals comes from her grandmother who was a South Dakota pioneer. During Jan's life she has developed a huge passion for animals and especially horses. As a child, she had no pets, so now enjoys helping children meet the animals on the farm. As children and adults follow her around the farm she explains the life, physiology, and duties of all the farm animals. Jan’s main goal for those who visit the farm is to have as much fun as possible while learning about the animals that reside at Cavanaugh’s Carriages.
