Dennis Picard, former director of Storrowton Village Museum, will organize the harvest and invite visitors to join him on the ice (conditions permitting) to use the ice saw and other antique tools to experience life before the days of refrigeration.
During the ice harvest the museum will be open for tours that focus on Yankee Ingenuity from the 1850's to current day. We hope to bring people together to rekindle the community spirit of farm communities and industrial villages that were common in most of New England. Come see and participate in this fascinating "living history" program.
There is no charge for the ice harvest event, but donations will be gratefully accepted. This living history presentation is supported in part by grants from the Granville Cultural Council, the Suffield Historical Society and the Suffield Land Conservancy. Thanks in advance for your support to keep our living history programs alive!
