A great historical film that should be required watching in schools. How many people today remember seeing iceboxes, watching the iceman deliver the blocks of ice carried on their backs? People worked hard, burned lots of calories then!
Bunnell's Pond (aka Beardsley Park Pond), an impoundment on the Pequonock River, adjacent to the Rte 25/8 highway. The dam just to the north of the "Wonderland " ice skating rink.
