Hello, I am looking for information on the Davenport. I know it was from the Willock collection, and that it spent time at Frontier Town, in North Hudson, NY (photo)before going to Erie Canal Village. I am looking to understand the time frame that it was displayed there -I don't believe it ever operated at Frontier Town. I am told it came from a private collection in Maryland. Any information or other photos would be helpful. Thanks, Doug Bensen https://www.facebook.com/FrontierTownTh ... cation=ufi |

The private collector in Maryland was William Willock after he moved to Maryland from his Long Island New York home. |

Thanks for the clarification. What interests me is that the first steam power to run at Frontier Town,a Porter 2-4-0, came from Willock in the mid-1950's and ran there for 25 years. 10 years or more after the Porter was retired, and two changes of ownership later,another of Willocks collection was acquired by F.T. |
