Taken looking south along Main Street in Groton, a village in central New York, this winter scene shows horses pulling sleighs down the snowy street. The photograph is credited to Verne Morton, but the caption card gives no date, so its exact period is uncertain. Images like this one record a time when sleighs were a common way to travel and haul goods through small towns, and the view down the street offers a glimpse of rural village life in the snow season.
