happens to be a bob sled built by Jacob Jung, Sr., founder of the Jung Carriage Company, which visitors won't want to miss. The sled retains its original finish, lettering and striping, showing the artistry of decorating even utilitarian vehicles. Its light construction and narrow lazy backs are typical of the prevailing styles of the early to mid-1870s. The curved dash shows the wood bending skills of carriage and sleigh makers of the time.
