Ice Cutting

Free with Nature Center admission

Did you ever wonder how people kept their food cold before there were refrigerators? What was an ice harvest? How did they get the ice from the lake and how was it stored so it wouldn't melt? These and other questions will be explored while you have a chance to cut chunks of lake-ice with an old-fashioned ice saw.

Please note: If the temperature brings a warm up, this program might be presentation only. It is advised you call the nature center before heading out.
