In 1927 Henry Abell, a master plumber,
purchased a 100-acre dairy farm. When the
Great Depression struck the nation two years
later, Abell could find little work as a plumber
and decided to develop his dairy farm. In 1934,
he and his family began the Dairy, growing the
farm to 500 acres and producing enough milk,
ice cream, and other dairy products to supply
five counties. The dairy closed in 1979, but
today houses America's Ice Cream and Dairy
Museum, dedicated to the cultural history of
the ice cream and dairy industry in Ohio and
the United States.
