My family owned Island Beverage located on Sleight Street Staten Island. I would hear the stories of my Great Aunt Anne, who would sit in the basement and manually fill each and every bottle by hand before my grandfather and dad would deliver wood case full of seltzer
Loved the scavenger hunt made me interested in the history of the factory.
What a great slice of history! :)
Had an amazing time at this museum. My son, who is 4 and a huge fan of all things mechanical and systematic was obsessed. Thank you so much for opening up your shop to the public and sharing with us the history and intricacies of seltzer.
I loved learning about the history of the bottles and how you can trace your seltzer!
