Description

Take a look back in time when there wasn't any electricity. Imagine having to wait for the "iceman" so that you could keep your food cold. In the winter, the men would have to go out and cut the ice from the ponds and lakes and then it would have to be stored in Ice Houses to be used during the hot summer months. Our collection includes all kinds of tools that were used in the ice industry like tongs, plows, ice boxes, measuring sticks, chippers, crushers, saws, a full size Ice Wagon. We have a short film of the ice industry in the early 1900's. Also.........since this was a family project: we have quite a collection of License Plates, Milk Bottles, Antique Cars, Dolls, and Baby Buggies.
