"In 1897, the city built an enormous new Market Ho

"In 1897, the city built an enormous new Market House, a tall, brick Victorian building with rental space for about 60 vendors on the ground floor, and public facilities, offices, and an auditorium upstairs." - Knoxville History Project⁠
⁠
The Market House was filled with vendors selling meat, produce, prepared foods, fish, and more, until its popularity waned and the Market House was torn down in the 1960s.⁠
⁠

🍦"I always thought cold victuals nice, My choice would be - all sorts of ice." - Knoxville Cookbook 1900, introduction to the "Ices" section.⁠
⁠
Knoxvillians have loved a frozen treat since at least the mid 1800s. Peter Kern, who went on to found Kern's Bakery, announced the re-opening of his "Ice Cream Saloon" in June 1866 on the west side of Market Square.⁠
⁠
The Market Square Farmers' Market hosted a few ice cream makers over the last 20 years, but the best known and longest-running was Cruze Farm, which now churns soft serve on Gay St and sells milk from their East Knoxville farm.⁠
⁠
At A Storied Supper on June 7, Nolan Sherrill of @CentralCreamery will be serving strawberry rhubarb shortcake bars with vanilla bean or salted butterscotch ice cream. Central Creamery provides their local, small-batch ice cream to multiple businesses including @thephoenixpharmacy and @bubblesandcreamknox. Join us! Head to the link in bio for tickets.⁠
