Wagon Rides and Ice Harvest Day

Discover Minnesota’s history before electric refrigerators, when hardy ice harvesters sawed massive blocks of ice out of frozen lakes and ponds to keep food during warmer months. Use real ice tools and try harvesting with ice harvesting historian Tim Graf and costumed interpreters from The Landing. Learn about water quality and ice safety. Cut blocks with an old fashioned ice saw, pull an antique ice plow and weigh blocks of ice. Enjoy a wagon pulled by Percheron horses. Keep warm with outdoor campfires… Show more or go indoors for hot cocoa. Drop in any time during program hours.
