Fun Fact Friday

In honour of National Vanilla Ice Cream Day, here is today's cool fun fact! 

Did you know that...

"1851: Baltimore dairyman Jacob Fussell opened the first commercial ice cream factory. He had a surplus of cream—so he built an ice cream factory in Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, and shipped it to Baltimore by train. Business boomed, and Fussell became the father of the wholesale ice cream industry." (The Editors, 2016)
