These days, if you want to keep something cold you put it in the refidgerator or freezer.  Electric appliances have made this reality something we take for granted.  But once upon a time, our ancestors used blocks of ice to keep things cool.  Amish communities in Wisconsin maintain the practice and keep the skill set alive in Wisconsin.
