This is a private museum and collection. Its an extremely unique and niche museum dedicated to the industry of natural ice removal. This museum covers all aspects of the trade. From the development of ice being removed from a river or a lake, transport of the ice from the natural area, and the development of ice boxes and food storage. The times listed reflect when they are open. However, feel free to contact the museum and they are happy to try and accommodate a time outside of their regular hours.

This is a hidden gem. It tells the story of ice in the United states from 1800 through 1940. Lots of interesting things related to ice making and uses and storage. It is only open on Saturday but you can arrange a tour for a group.

First of all, it has reopened for appointment, although the audio guide is not available yet.Echoing from some other reviews, I didnt have too high expectations, especially with the previous experience with other ice museums or historical museums. But this one is a really good place. Its in a huge 3-story barn and has a large collection of ice harvesting tools, ice wagon, furnitures, and other antiques. The owner worked in ice companies, so needless to say how knowledgable Peter is on the exhibits.

As an artist, this has been one of my favorite places to photograph. They have let me come in several times simply to shoot for my art projects and have let me stay for pretty much as long as Ive needed. I even got a full personal tour. Definitely a beautiful museum with lots of charm and history.

When you see Antique Ice Tool Museum you might not have the highest of expectations... but this place is incredible. Amazing collection, beautiful facilities, friendly docents passionate about the old ice business. Seriously. Go see this place. I mean, I went with a group of 12-16-year-old boys, and THEY enjoyed it (astonishing).

What a great little museum! The owner is a really nice older gentlemen, he gave us a tour and had answers to almost all of our questions! He renovated that building so beautifully, tons of neat historical items, and who knew the ice industry was so big?! Not to mention, its free!As a connoisseur of small museums, this one is high up on my list for the reasons above.

Informative & interesting look at part of our history that I was unfamiliar with.
