Until the mid-twentieth century, ice harvesting was an important industry in the Northeast.  In the early 1900s, ice was cut and packed tightly in an ice shed and would last all spring, summer and fall, ensuring that everyone with an icebox had a steady supply to keep food and milk from spoiling.  Blocks of ice were delivered to households and shipped to urban areas in the south throughout the year.  With the introduction of the electric refrigerator in 1929, the days of ice harvesting were  numbered.  Photographs of the Newport Ice Company, run by the Handy family since 1913, showing the tools and process of this labor-intensive work are on view in the Museum's upper gallery.
Admission: $5 Monday-Saturday, 9am-5pm; Sunday 1-5pm
