Thompson Ice House Harvesting Museum

The Thompson Ice House Museum, located in South Bristol, Maine, serves to preserve the long-standing tradition of ice harvesting that dates back to 1826. Through engaging exhibits, including historical tools and video presentations, the museum highlights the ingenuity and hard work of Maine's people.

The museum hosts annual events such as the Ice Harvest in February and an Ice Cream Social in July, both of which foster community engagement and support historical preservation. Visitors of all ages can participate in hands-on activities, such as hand-cranking ice cream made from ice harvested on-site, creating a fun and educational experience for everyone involved.
