Join our living history crew and learn about maple sugar production as it would have been done centuries ago all over North America. Collecting maple sap to produce syrup was done by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived, and maple sugar was the primary sweetener in North America until supplanted by cane sugar in the 19th century. Come see how the sap was collected, processed, and distributed in the days when Indiana was still part of New France.
