Interesting background @manorvillemike; familiar with so-called "ice houses" from the 1800's because my Human works in a basement that's a converted ice house... but always wondered where they got the "big blocks of ice" that turned such places into a giant refrigerator. And we don't have frozen ponds here, even in the winter, unless you get above 5000 feet.
Looks like a peaceful place to visit.

Yes a gem to visit.
