The Homestead Farm, now known as the Olde Orchard Inn, had an ice house on the property. As far as I know, it is still there. My folks would stop at the Homestead Farm to pick up their oars and oarlocks and a block of ice before rowing out to their camp. Many of the island campers near Lees Mill did the same back in the early 1900s. There was a rack on the wall in the barn where oars and oarlocks were stored and each camp had their camp name on the rack.
