The Daily News has once again decided to change up its weekly “yesteryear” feature in order to include more historical photographs.
Many of the collected prints from local museum archives highlight former residents, events, activities, as well as inside of homes or businesses; however, they are unidentified.
The Jake Menghini Historical Museum in Norway has provided this week’s “Remember when” photographs of kids enjoying winter.
The postcard marked “Toboggan Slide, Norway, Mich.” captures three children coming down the toboggan track. The photograph is believed to date between 1925 and 1940.
A museum board member noted that it could have been located where the Solomonson branch of the Dickinson County Library in Norway is today.

The “Municipal Skating Rink, Norway, Mich.” is from the Jake Menghini Historical Museum in Norway archives.
The undated “Municipal Skating Rink, Norway, Mich.” postcard shows a large group of skaters of all ages.
The museum said although there was no location printed, they believe the municipal skating rink was where the Anderson Memorial Hospital building on Main Street is today.
Norway Hill can be seen in the background, as well as Norway downtown businesses.
Anyone with more information about either of the historic photographs can email tcastelaz@ironmountaindailynews.com. Details will be provided to the Jake Menghini Historical Museum of Norway.
