Businesses Town of Culver by culverlibin | Jan 17, 2023 Ice Houses What is it that was harvested from fields, but never planted? Was found only in winter, but used mostly in summer? Was stored at Culver, but used across the country? Well, I'm not very good at asking riddles, because I always tell the answer right away. In this case, it's "ice."Last September, before I left for school, I talked to Bill Easterday, Bess Easterday and Sam Medbourn about the ice business in Culver. This article is a summary of what they told me.
