Laura Crist recently purchased this photo of the J. TURNEY & Co. Charter Oak Band from an Austrailian (sic) website on the Internet. Crist said she would like to find out more about the band and the names of those pictured. She can be contacted at 919-6900.
TURNEY Wagon Works was one of Fairfield's earliest manufacturers. It started in 1848 near Trenton, but moved to Fairfield to be closer to a railroad in 1888. The factory built eight different models of Charter Oak wagons and a line of Fairfield wagons, producing more than 500 each year. TURNEY Wagon Works was Fairfield's largest employer for many years, but ceased operations in 1932.
