This photo from the Britton Collection at Old Independence Regional Museum shows two horse-drawn sleighs with men and women inside, covered with lap blankets.  There is snow on the ground and you can see a stone building as well as a wood structure in the background.  This is dated circa 1900 and it may have been taken on lower Main Street.  The photo was given to the donor by Clyde McGinnis.
