Along with the watching the sap transform as it boils in a large 2’x4’ pan, on our granite fire pit, you will be able to explore the property and check out the sugar bush on the hill where the trees are tapped. You’ll get to learn and see first hand how delicious maple syrup transforms from sap from a tree to syrup and ask any questions you may have along the way.
The sap that is prepared and boiled during the demonstration won’t complete while you’re there. BUT inside the Welles-Shipman-Ward House, pancakes will be cooked on the open hearth using an 18th century recipe and served with authentic native syrup – so you will get a taste of the final product.
This is a great family event! All ages are welcome. Admission is only $5 per person and Free to HSG members. Parking for this event is available at St. Augustine’s Church. Handicap parking is available at the Welles-Shipman-Ward House. Please check the website or our Facebook page for more information and the most current updates on this event.
