When it comes to ice cream, you can purchase almost every flavor imaginable at most grocery stores. But it wasn’t always like that. Stores used to be limited in their offerings, so to get something truly unique and delicious, people would head to the soda shops.

Today, there’s something that’s still nostalgic about walking up to an ice cream bar and placing an order for an indulgent sundae or milkshake and there’s one spot in Iowa that does it best. If you haven’t been to Megan’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor, now’s your chance.

Megan's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor is a fully equipped, old-fashioned “soda shop” in Fort Madison, Iowa.
