Artifact Overview
The first Dairy Queen restaurant opened in Joliet, Illinois, in 1940. Since then, the company expanded with franchises offering fast food and brand-named frozen dairy products, including Dilly Bars, Peanut Buster Parfaits, and Blizzards. Many customers remember the signature curly top on Dairy Queen soft-serve ice cream cones. A franchise employee wore this button in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
