Ice Cutting at Cedar Lake (Carriage Hill MetroPark)
Before electricity, people used tools to cut the surface ice from lakes and rivers to sell or use as cold storage. In the 19th century, ice was also a popular export from Scandinavia and North America.
Layer up and take a look at how harvesting ice was done over 100 years ago with traditional tools.
This event is free and for all ages. Park at the Cedar Lake entrance.
