Frozen in Time: The Tobyhanna Millpond #1 Ice Harvest
Anne Martino
The 21st Annual Tobyhanna Millpond #1 Ice Harvest is planned for Saturday, January 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The highly anticipated community event celebrates the historic practice of ice harvesting through re-enactments and working demonstrations. Ice harvesting was once a major industry in the Pocono Mountains. In the days before electric refrigerators, natural ice was used to preserve food in household iceboxes. Much of the ice distributed throughout the New York Metropolitan Area was harvested from ponds and lakes in the Poconos. Anne Martino
Each year, dozens of volunteers assemble to re-create the effortful winter harvests. Antique equipment is used to cut and extract ice from the Millpond, and horses are used to pull the heavy blocks up restored wooden ramps and into the icehouse. The insulated house preserves the crop until summer, when local organizations use the ice for picnics and special events. All are welcome to learn the lore, watch the action and lend a helping hand in the harvest. Should conditions be unfavorable on January 18, the event will be rescheduled for Saturday, February 15. For updates and additional information, call the Tobyhanna Millpond Ice Harvest Hotline at (570) 894-8205. Tobyhanna Millpond #1 is located at 2071 Lakeside Drive in Tobyhanna.
