#3 - The Albany Cutter 

This sleigh is often mistaken by the younger patrons for one owned by jolly old St. Nicholas. Unfortunately we do not have an antique sleigh of Santa’s on display, but maybe one will be donated in years to come. The sleigh that we do have is located on the second floor and is the Albany Cutter. It is a sleigh that was made by the “Manual Arts Class” at Towanda High School in 1906. This beautifully crafted sleigh was indeed a project done in the Towanda High School and the craftsmanship used to create it could beat most clocks made in most high school shop classes today.

Visit the Bradford County Historical Society Wednesday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm to see this and hundreds of other local history pieces.
