On weekend days in March, see maple sugaring as it was done in early 19th-century rural New England in OSV's working sugar camp.
View the daily schedule starting with Saturday, March 3.
See the entire sugar-making process, from tapping the trees to 'sugaring off,' and learn why maple sugar was more commonly used than maple syrup in early New England.
Costumed historians will also cook period foods made with maple products by the hearth at the Village’s Freeman Farm.
And 'Indian Doctress' Molly Geet will once again join us for the first two weekends on March 3-4 and March 10-11 to tell Native American maple sugar stories and lead 'Walks with the Indian Doctress.'
Molly's tales, 'Sogalikiosos: Maple Sugar Moon Stories' and 'Fur Mittens and Showshoes,' illustrate how maple sugaring is one of the rare American agricultural processes that was not an import from European colonial methods, but rather was indigenous to the North American continent and was taught to European settlers by the Algonquin and Iroquois tribes.
