Nothing beats the winter blues more than a five-foot saw, giant tongs, a sharpened pick, and a pond full of ice to work. The Noble & Cooley Center in Granville re-created a 19th century ice harvest on Sunday, February 8, which worked the muscles and expanded the mind.
In the shadow of the former Noble & Cooley Drum Factory, Dennis Picard, who sported a period outfit complete with wool cap and wool vest, stood on Cooley Pond and rhythmically cut through the 18-inch thick ice with a curved saw.
