Please note the correct date is February 22, which was incorrectly listed in previous publications.

Join us on Saturday, February 22, between 10a and 2p when Ian Baker and Thomas Wojcinski will demonstrate maple sugar production as it would have been done centuries ago.

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 nineteenth century.

Come learn how the sap was collected, processed, and distributed in the days when Indiana was still part of New France.
