Sleighs in New York Dec , 1898

Take a trip back in time and experience this wonderful clip of sleighs in Central Park, NY in 1898. One of the earliest outdoor films in the United States.
The music accompanying the film is also rare. It is perhaps the earliest vocal recording of Jingle Bells that still exists. It was recorded in the same year as the film 1898, a great snapshot of the era. A much simpler time, no cell phones, no tvs, just a Merry Christmas ushering in the new century of the 1900s.
