The Florida Carriage Museum was an equestrian-themed museum established by carriage collector Gloria Austin and located in Weirsdale, Florida.Template:R It contained more than 160 antique horse-drawn carriages from Europe and America, as well as equine-related artifacts and artwork.[1] In 2011, Austin sold the 400-acre equestrian resort property, of which the museum was part, to her ex-husband, Tom Golisano; it was renamed Grand Oaks and the carriage museum became known as the Grand Oaks Museum.[2][3] Formerly known to be a destination for carriage driving, the property has since hosted different equestrian athletes in a variety of disciplines and is a United States Equestrian Federation accredited training facility.[4] In 2017, Grand Oaks sold and dispersed the majority of the carriage collection, thereby closing the museum.Template:R A portion of Austin's collection remains at Austin's Equine Heritage Institute, adjacent to Grand Oaks.[5]
