"I particularly enjoy hosting at the Ice House and Victorian House. The third grade visits to the Ice House are a wonderful way to introduce students (and the parents who attend with them) to such a unique property. As the only Ice House in the United States that is a museum of the ice industry, this truly is a valuable resource for our community."
