Discover the historical maple-sugaring techniques of indigenous peoples and colonists, as well as our present-day methods on the farm.
Learn about tree identification, qualities of sap and syrup, how to tap, and more at our outdoor displays and tapped trees. And if the weather’s just right, you’ll observe sap dripping into buckets and boiling in our sugar shack.

C’mon down and learn the science and history of “sugaring.” Around our campfires, visitors will learn Indigenous people and Colonist historical techniques for making maple sugar.
Learn about tree identification, qualities of sap and syrup, how to tap, and more at our outdoor displays and tapped trees.
If the weather’s just right, we’ll watch sap dripping into buckets and boiling in our sugar shack.
. . . And even though Mother Nature can’t guarantee the sap run (and boiling) on any given day, tours are still interesting and fun, and offer visitors a fascinating view of this enduring New England tradition.
