by Joe Pecoraro, posted April 26, 2010 Buck’s Ice Cream Parlor has been a cornerstone of the Mizzou campus for decades, going back to 1989 when Wendell and Ruth Arbuckle joined with others in the industry to donate more than $160,000 towards continuing research and teaching in the dairy industry. The money was used to renovate the dairy plant into a functioning producer and distributor of ice cream, including all the machinery needed (according to their website.)
Buck’s recently celebrated its 20th anniversary in October of 2009. The parlor has been managed and operated by Rick Linhardt the past 18 years.
