"There are just a few tables and almost always a line for the ice cream, shave ice, and coffee that fuel kids and adults during a day at Columbia State Historic Park. Old-fashioned sweets — peppermint sticks, giant jawbreakers, and those ubiquitous bags of gold nuggets — are pulled from huge glass jars here, sitting atop authentic 1850s-era wooden fixtures. Get a hot dog or turkey sandwich if you’re very hungry but the locally made sarsaparilla float with vanilla ice cream or ice-cold sarsaparilla soda is a pro’s choice." - Christina Mueller
