About the event
In the 21st century ice is readily available in our homes. Outside, ice can provide recreation or present dangers to travel. However, if we look into the past ice itself was a valuable economic opportunity for Mainers that provided off-season income and connected Maine to far distant markets that demanded the crop for food preservation and cooling.
Join Patrick Callaway, Collections Manager at the MDI Historical Society to learn about Ice Harvesting.
