No, George Washington did not have ice cream here but…
In beautiful northwest Connecticut the town of Washington that has several hamlets and villages. Washington Depot is the center of town with a dozen or so businesses including the local Washington Food Market that seemed to have everything anyone would want including a wide variety of ice cream selections
They offer ice cream in pints and half gallons and a variety of local products including Arethusa from neighboring Litchfield. They also offer a large selection of single serve flavors for those needing a fix when on the road.
Today I went with a small cup of Haagen-Dazs coffee while Mighty Mo had Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough. We had a guest with us today, our pup Sheldon Copper who enjoyed a small cup of Haagen-Dazs vanilla.
We met two very helpful staff at the check out counter and even though they can’t say George Washington sampled the ice cream here, they can say Sheldon Cooper did!
