The Schiele Museum of Natural History celebrated the 100th anniversary of Tony’s Ice Cream with an exhibit called “The Scoop on Ice Cream.” The display looked at the origins and chemistry of the dessert while also profiling the local family business that’s produced it here for five generations.

Each participant was given a special kit, consisting of a couple of bags with staple ingredients such as ice, rock salt and more.

They all had to combine and shake it all together for a couple of minutes to create their own servings of ice cream.
