General (Public) Meeting of Kensington Historical Society

January 15, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm

If you’ve lived for any length of time in the Washington area, you know about Gifford’s Ice Cream. Now, get the inside scoop. At 7:30 p.m., Andrew Gifford, author of the memoir We All Scream: The Fall of the Gifford’s Ice Cream Empire, will speak about the byzantine intrigue behind the scenes of Kensington’s ice cream family. 

Nostalgia is not always what it seems. Gifford’s Ice Cream was beloved by millions for generations. But, behind the sweet memories and the glowing candy counter, through the service entrance and up those haunted, rickety stairs, a family clawed itself to pieces and spent decades tearing down this Washington D.C. legacy.

Come at 7 p.m. for coffee, cookies and conversation prior to what promises to be a very interesting presentation.
