Birthplace claim for ice cream sundae tied to Two Rivers
Two Rivers Wisconsin touts itself as the sundae birthplace with a 1881 soda fountain origin at 1404 15th St. A marker from 1973 and a demolished 1979 parlor site reflect tourism minded loss. Historians note rivals in Evanston and Rockford while locals regret the vanished original parlor and its famed flavors.
