Abstract
Ice is having its moment due to the popular Disney movie Frozen. Here at the History Center, the history of ice is always at the forefront because the original building was home to the Chautauqua Lake Ice Company. Ice was critical in the days before electric refrigeration, and many an ice man delivered it door to door. The turn-of-the-century tradition faded decades ago except for one holdout: Jerry the Ice Man.
