Sledding of yore

During February vacation when kids are flocking to the hills, we look back at least 80 years to see young ones enjoying the same winter entertainment. Though the equipment may look a little different, sledding has always been a pastime for kids in New England, when the weather cooperates.

Thank you for sharing.  This is a delightful reflection when kids were kids.
Curious as to why there are only boys on sleds in most of these pictures.

  

Oh, those kids are so cute!  I hope they see themselves in these photos.
