The 20th Annual Tobyhanna Millpond

#1 Ice Harvest will take place on Saturday,

January 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Millpond

#1 in Tobyhanna. The annual event celebrates

the historic practice of ice harvesting through

reenactments and working demonstrations.

Organizer Bill Leonard Jr., whose father

worked in the industry and conceived the idea

for the modern day hauls, explains that ice

harvesting was once an important trade in the

Poconos. “Millpond #1 has been used for ice

harvesting since the late 1800s,” he says.

In the days before electric refrigerators,

natural ice was used to preserve food in

household iceboxes. Much of the ice distributed

along the east coast was harvested from ponds

and lakes in the Poconos.

In 1907, Leonard explains, the Pocono

Mountain Ice Company built a 60,000 ton capacity ice house on Millpond #1. Each winter, when the ice on the

water grew to 12 inches thick, the fi rst of the season’s two or three “crops” were harvested. Workers used saws,

plows, hooks, and conveyors to move blocks from the water to the insulated ice house. The massive “ice cakes”

were then covered with straw and stored or shipped out by railcar for domestic use.

The Annual Ice Harvest at Millpond #1 honors this historic practice. Each year, dozens of volunteers assemble

to recreate the harvests and hundreds turn out to observe the action. Antique equipment is used to cut and extract

the ice and horses are used to pull the

blocks up restored wooden ramps and into

the ice house.

Says Leonard of the event, “It is a

chance for people to see some local history

and see the hard work folks used to endure

back a century ago.”

All are welcome at this celebrated

event. The Coolbaugh Township Historical

Association, headquartered nearby, will

offer complimentary museum tours and

refreshments from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Should conditions be unfavorable on

January 19, the event will be rescheduled

for Saturday, February 16. For updates and

additional information, call the Tobyhanna

Millpond Ice Harvest Hotline at (570) 894-

8205. Tobyhanna Millpond #1 is located

at 2071 (formerly 646) Lakeside Drive in

beautiful Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania.
