They had ice year round. It was stored in straw which it kept for a long
time.

The first ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City in 1776
Dolly Madison created a sensation when she served ice cream as a
dessert in the White House at the second inaugural ball in 1812.
In 1843, New England housewife Nancy Johnson invented the hand-cranked
ice cream churn. She patented her invention but lacked
the resources to make and market the churn herself. Mrs. Johnson sold
the patent for $200 to a Philadelphia kitchen wholesaler who, by 1847,
made enough freezers to satisfy the high demand. From 1847 to 1877, more
than 70 improvements to ice cream churns were patented.

The first commercial ice cream plant was established in Baltimore in
1851 by Jacob Fussell.
