The Ice House Museum collects, preserves, and demonstrates working artifacts and memorabilia from a bygone era for historical and educational purposes. The collection was assembled by the late William F. Kidder and is displayed at The Ice House in New London, New Hampshire.
His collection includes innumerable examples of working tools and machinery, many of local origin: wonderful children’s riding toys, bicycles, cars (mostly old Fords), and a wide variety of items of town interest including the first fire engine, first movie projector, and even the jail cell from Whipple Hall in New London. Bill enjoyed showing people around, demonstrating how things worked, and sharing his infinite admiration for the “Yankee Ingenuity” they reflected.
