We welcomed just shy of 60 cars yesterday for Cars & Coffee featuring Old Ford Day! John MacKenna brought a few pies to sell and the Good Humor truck was here with classic frozen treats.

Ben Cochran even took a few passes at the teeter-totter, adding a little extra fun to the morning!

A big thank you to everyone who came out—whether you brought a car, came to check them out, or simply joined us for some good conversation and social time. We love seeing the Ice House filled with friends, familiar faces, and new faces!

We have one more Cars & Coffee of the season on October 10th, and we’re making a day of it!

Join us for Cars & Coffee, then stick around for our Fall Foliage Car Ride, with lunch provided by the Appleseed. 🍂🚗

Wow, what a time we have!

On Tuesday, June 30th, the Ice House Board of Directors and volunteers welcomed members of PAL (Profile Automobile League) to our museum and they presented us with a large donation, as they liquidate their nonprofit status.

We have a dedicated PAL room in the 2nd floor of the Ford building, housing an incredible amount of history. We invite you to visit it and check out the memorabilia.

They will forever have a place at the Ice House Museum.

Wow! 107 cars yesterday at our first Cars & Coffee of the 2026 season. Dare we say…our wheels were knocked right off. It was great to catch up with so many of you after a very long winter.

Our team has been hard at work preparing the property for your arrival. We’re excited to open for the season tomorrow (Tuesday) and look forward to welcoming you!

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
