Finding Ice Cream on The Road (Boston Globe/Chicago Tribune)

From The Chicago Tribune:

People from across the United States and, indeed, around the world are drawn to Wilton, just a couple of miles off Interstate Highway 80 between Davenport and Iowa City, to visit what's believed to be -- in the Nopouloses' words -- "the oldest ongoing ice cream parlor in the nation." A fellow named R.A. McIntire started making ice cream here in 1860, when Abe Lincoln was running for president.
