Artifact Overview
Sledding became a popular winter activity for children during the 19th century. Narrow wood or metal runners on homemade or factory-made sleds glide almost effortlessly over snow-covered and frozen ground, providing hours of fun in cold northern winters. Whether sliding down a snow-covered hill or being pulled across the icy ground, sleds made winter enjoyable for children of any age.

Dogs guard, guide, hunt and herd, but they also entertain, inspire and offer comfort. In exchange for their pets' loyalty, owners provide room, board, and affection. Owners convey love and respect for their working dogs in personal ways, through portraits and photographs. And businesses capitalize on public affection for dogs and puppies by featuring them in advertisements and showcasing them on consumable products from tableware to trinkets.
