At that rate, it would cost $3052.10 for delivery to our area. FYI, 
First Day Cottages are just across the river from us, so delivery is free.

I do like some of their designs, especially the ones that look period 
and can be towed. I am a member of the Society for creative Anachronism 
and I perform historical magic at festivals and renaissance faires, so I 
am always intrigued by a period looking trailer.
