“The Old-Fashioned Way”: The Tony’s Ice Cream Story “The Old-Fashioned Way”: The Tony’s Ice Cream Story Gaston County Museum 131 W Main St, Dallas, NC 28034, USA 704-922-7681 “The Old-Fashioned Way”: The Tony’s Ice Cream Story Opens March 8 For more than 100 years, Tony’s Ice Cream has been a staple in Gaston County, their distinctive yellow brick building on East Franklin Boulevard in Gastonia serving as a landmark and touchstone for generations of Gaston County families. But the story behind this iconic brand, which unfolds in “The Old-Fashioned Way”: The Tony’s Ice Cream Story , is also about family, immigration, and the success that was built on ingenuity, resolve, and the hard work of four generations. The exhibit, which opens March 8 and runs through July 2026, tells the story of how immigrants to Gaston County from Italy and Scotland - the Coletta and Jannetta families - built a new life and grew a flourishing business in a rapidly changing and expanding North Carolina county. “Everyone has a favorite memory of Tony’s,” says Museum director Alexandrea Pizza “And behind every one of those memories is a family that worked hard to create the American success story.” In the exhibit, visitors will experience a documentary about the family’s lineage and move to America, discover the importance of the deceivingly simple ice cream scoop, enjoy a variety of interactive features for adults and children alike, and discover which ice cream flavor is, in fact, the most popular!
