The Silsbee Ice House Museum & Cultural Center was erected by Gulf States Utilities in 1928. Located in Earnest Ave, The Ice House Museum exhibits illustrate how the life was before refrigeration. The building was originally an ice house that produced ice for local homes and businesses. Charles Lee, a retired train-master and railroad consultant, graciously donated his enviable collection of items including lanterns, maps, switch locks, timetables and photos. Historical acquisitions of the museum includes woodcraft items made by the late Gilbert Dominguez.
