One Tank Trips: Inside the Antique Ice Tool Museum in Chester County

WEST CHESTER, Pa. (WPVI) -- In this edition of One Tank Trips, we're asking: What happened to the "Ice Man"?

A beautifully renovated barn in Chester County holds the answer.

It houses the largest private collection of ice tools and memorabilia in the United States.

The antique Ice Tool Museum in West Chester was created in 2009 by a family who wanted to preserve the history of an industry that changed the way we live forever.

Action News photojournalist Bill Hartung takes us there.
