The family-owned dairy has been making and distributing delicious ice cream for years, creating a local icon in the process. While you can find Richardson's products at ice cream stands throughout the region, a trip to their Middleton farm location is always worth it. There you'll find not only ice cream but their own milk and cream from their working dairy farm, as well as mini golf, batting cages, and a driving range. 156 South Main St. (Rte 114), Middleton, 978-774-5450, richardsonsicecream.com MONTSERRAT COLLEGE OF ART, Beverly Beverly's flourishing arts community owes a debt of gratitude to the legendary Montserrat College of Art, where art students from around the world come to study, create, and learn. Their energy and imagination permeate the city's culture, enlivening it with a youthful spirit and constant feeling of rebirth and rejuvenation. Montserrat also offers treasures within its own walls, like public galleries and exciting events. 23 Essex St., Beverly, 978-921-4242, montserrat.edu JORDAN'S FURNITURE, Reading To anyone outside New England, putting a furniture store on an "icons" list might seem strange, but for North Shore residents who know and love Jordan's Furniture in Reading, it makes perfect sense. That's because Jordan's Furniture does a lot more than sell sofas. Families regularly make the trip to its Reading location to see Beantown, a re-creation of Boston landmarks like the Green Monster, made entirely of jelly beans; watch the Liquid Fireworks light and water show; see a movie in its 500-seat, eight-story IMAX 3D theatre; grab a burger at Fudrucker's or an ice cream from Richardson's; and even take part in their ropes course. 50 Walkers Brook Dr., Reading, 781-944-9090, jordans.com ICONS Each of these towns is home to iconic and beloved North Shore spots. Here are a few of our faves: Richardson's Ice Cream is a North Shore landmark.
