Our Journey Down the Tracks

1998

"I Wanted a Caboose"

Tammi's simple wish led to buying an authentic 1980 B&O caboose. It sat in their yard for a year while Bruce, her husband wondered what to do with it!

2000

The Sweet Idea

July 15th - First ice cream served to Tammi's very own grandma! Neither Tammi nor Bruce had ever worked in an ice cream shop, but they were ready for the adventure.

2024

Celebrated 25 YEARS!

On our 25th anniversary we celebrated with a bouncy house, face painting and even an interview on local news!

Today

Family Tradition

Three generations of families have worked here, and many more have made us part of their summer tradition. The little caboose that could!
