MHM Free Community Days – Keeping it Cool: Ice Harvesting in Muskegon

July 13, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

How do you keep your cucumbers cool without electric refrigeration? Why, ice of course. Before modern ice makers, natural, or lake ice, was used for generations. The Muskegon area was home to several ice companies and the world’s largest ice box factory. Learn how ice was harvested, stored and delivered to homes year round.

Thanks to our event sponsors: RENK and Hines Corporation!
