Maple Sugar Sunday
One of the most important seasonal farm tasks in early America was sugar making in the maple woods. The museum's program features a presentation on the production of syrup and sugar from the sap of the maple tree. (Please note that no trees will actually be tapped.) Also featured is a demonstration of 18th century open-hearth cooking using authentic cooking tools and recipes highlighting the use of maple syrup. Tours of the 1740 farmhouse are included. Admission is $3.00 for adults and children age 13 and older, $2.00 for children ages 3 to 12, and free under age 3.
