The Ice House Museum

What a perfect way to wrap up our 2025 season!
Yesterday was one of those magical fall days that remind us why we love this time of year. We kicked things off with Cars & Coffee, welcoming a record turnout of more than 85 cars at the museum — and even enjoyed a special visit from our dear friend, Joan Lamson!

After the event, 21 cars set out from 91 Pleasant Street for a scenic foliage drive through New London, Wilmot, and Sutton, ending at Mount Sunapee State Park and Beach for a picnic lunch from Appleseed Restaurant

As we close the doors for the season, Ben and the crew will spend the next few weeks tucking the museum in for winter. We’re so grateful for everyone who made this season so memorable — and we can’t wait to welcome you back in May 2026

We were thrilled to welcome The Rusty Nuts Car Club today. Good news - no rust was found on their classic cars.

In the summer of 2023, we were approached with an offer to donate a Buick to the Ice House. Turns out, it had been worked on by Bill Kidder at Kidder Garage! After 2 years of tinkering, she’s finally on the road and Carol, whose family donated this beaut, got the first ride with Pete.

These moments are magical.

We had around 50 cars (keep me honest, Bob!) for our August Cars & Coffee. John MacKenna donated freshly baked pies as a fundraiser and we sold out!

The grass was getting a little long…thankfully the Tuesday crew solved the mowing problem!

A great day for a little trip across Main Street to visit our friends at Woodcrest Village. Check out all the smiles!

On Monday, we welcomed the 4th graders to our museum for a few history lessons. Thanks to our volunteers, Michael Todd and to New London NH Fire Department for providing fun learning experiences.
