Living in Brainerd in 1886.
During 1886 to 1889 the young folks maintained a Toboggan Club. In that decade there were no buildings on the railroad right of way south of the tracks between First and Tenth streets. This club was given permission to use the part between Sixth and Eighth for winter sports. Visualize now no freight depot and no Baehr Building and in their places two wooden-structure toboggan slides. One started on the Sixth Street end and let the toboggan run eastward. The other started on the Eighth Street end and made possible the return trip. Between the two slides was an ice rink. (Brainerd 1871-1946, Carl Zapffe, Colwell Press, Incorporated, Minneapolis, Minnesota: 1946; p. 53)
The toboggan slide owned and operated last winter by Wm. Hayden has recently been purchased by Mr. C. C. Phillips, who will greatly improve it before opening it for the coming season. (Brainerd Dispatch, 03 December 1886) [Contributed by John Van Essen]
