Default Stage Coaches

This is a strange Q, I thought I'd ask the ToTV readers--

What happened to the stage coaches TV had strategically placed in and around the villages ? (I noticed more near the fenney area and by warm springs.. even one that was facing the FL Turnpike from everglades rec center)

Umm, maybe they were converted to bachelor apartments and relocated to where the buffalo roam.

Default Covered wagons

They seem to mark where the next development for The Villages will be starting. It’s probably so far South and West now the average Villager can’t find them.

From what I was told when Fenney was just being developed, their purpose was to mark where TV owned land so the connection to the North could be seen. Now that so much has been developed they aren’t needed there anymore

There were never any stage coaches. There were covered wagons marking new development areas.

The wagons marked where they were going to build and it looks like they have started building where they were located.

My guess is they were too weathered and falling apart.

Default Stage Coaches

They marked the "next" areas of expansion. Once the building starts, they move them.
