01
Artifact Overview
The English, Dutch and Germans each brought variations of bowling to America. An early literary account of the game can be found in Washington Irving's story of Rip Van Winkle. Before taking his famous twenty-year nap, Van Winkle discovered a group of odd looking bowlers. The well-known, Catskill Mountain sleeper can be seen adorning this box of tenpins.
