An 1887 photograph by Jorgen Johansen Eskil of the toboggan slide off Central Avenue in Florence, Wis. (Photo provided by the Menominee Range Historical Museum in Iron Mountain)

The Menominee Range Historical Museum in Iron Mountain has provided this week’s “Remember when?”

Menominee Range photographer Jorgen Johansen Eskil captured the winter view of the toboggan slide in Florence, Wis., dating from 1887.

The hill was east of logging pioneer William and Maggie Judge’s residence on Central Avenue near Fisher Lake. You can see a top portion the Queen Anne Victorian home to the left of the wooden toboggan slide.

The historic photo shows children and adults teaming up on the long, wooden sleds, while spectators look on.

At the right of the slide are a couple of horse-drawn carriages that depicts that time period.

It was noted that the hill was iced down, allowing riders to travel onto the frozen lake.

Eskil operated his studio in Florence from July 4, 1883, until he moved to Iron Mountain in 1891.

“Remember when?” appears every Wednesday in The Daily News. Those with suggestions or historical photographs they would like to submit can email Terri Castelaz at tcastelaz@ironmountaindailynews.com.
