Ice House Museum in Cedar Falls interprets the harvesting, storage and trade of natural ice within a surviving ice-house building.
Exhibits connect the nearby Cedar River with the work that kept food cool before widespread mechanical refrigeration.
Public visiting is seasonal, generally concentrated from late spring into mid-autumn; confirm current dates before traveling. The photograph shows the circular building exterior. Historical society programs and group tours have separate arrangements. Allow time to understand the handling and distribution of ice, and check the correct address because the society operates several different museums in Cedar Falls.
