Ice Cream with a Historian (Newport News)

July 18 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Before there were ice cream trucks, neighborhood parlors, and endless flavor choices, ice cream was a rare and luxurious treat enjoyed by only a select few Americans.
Join us at Aux Delices at Kiln Creek for a delicious journey through history as we explore the story of ice cream in America during the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding.
Discover how this beloved frozen dessert made its way to America, who enjoyed it during the Revolutionary Era, and how it evolved into one of the country’s favorite traditions.

🎟 FREE Admission
As a special thank-you, attendees will receive a $2 off museum admission coupon.
And with National Ice Cream Day being celebrated the very next day, it’s the perfect weekend to enjoy a scoop while discovering the this side of American history.
In partnership with Newport News Historic Services as part of the VA250 commemoration
