Annual Events
Ice Day
Ice Day 2024 will be held on February 18.
In efforts to prepare for Ice Day, the ice was found to not be safe. Therefore, ice harvesting will not be happening on the lake but all events will be taking place at the farm as scheduled.
Here’s a peek at our usual event…
Gather the family, bundle up and share a New England tradition at Kezar Lake and Muster Field Farm Museum. The ice cutting is done by a gas powered saw and is finished by hand by volunteers. Harvested ice is loaded by our ice block fulcrum onto wagons and vehicles, then hauled to the Farm. Our Ice House, c.1890, will be fully stacked with block ice for use at our summer events. Enjoy warmth and refreshments in Ryder Corner School House, c.1810.
Admission is free. Ice cutting begins at Kezar Lake at 9:00 am, the event concludes when all the ice is in the Ice House at Muster Field Farm Museum.
