Event Description:
PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Saturday, March 4; 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM; Echo Hill, $1 per person suggested donation, all ages. Tours begin every 20 minutes and last about 1 hour. Rain date: Sunday, March 5; check our website or call 782-1158 for cancellation information. Pre-registration is not required. Native Americans discovered the sweet quality of sugar maple sap before written history. For hundreds, maybe even thousands of years, Native Americans would set up camp in a stand of sugar maples during the sap run. The sugar they produced was an important food for them and for the colonists, who learned the process from the Native Americans. It was only during the 1930s when maple sugar took the form we use today: syrup! Experience first-hand the North American tradition of maple sugaring at Hunterdon County’s Maple Sugaring Program. You’ll take a trip through time to experience the art of the sugaring process. Along the way you will see an early American Frontiersman taping his trees, visit a sugar “farmer” at his evaporator, and enjoy a Native American story about the discovery of maple sap. At the end of your walk everyone will get a free taste of real maple syrup on a silver dollar pancake. New this year: CHILDREN’S STORYBOOK READING by Flemington author Felicia Sanzari Chernesky! Ms. Chernesky will read her children’s book Sugar White Snow and Evergreens, appropriate for children up to age 7. Learn about the colors of winter and the process of maple sugaring, and receive a bookmark and activity pages. Due to space limitations in the room, we ask that all participants sign up using a registration form. Cost of the reading is $1 to help offset the author’s fee. The readings will occur during the Open House (March 4 or March 5 rain date) at 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM; please specify which time you are interested in. Join in one of our maple sugaring tours before or after the reading. RAIN DATE SUNDAY, MARCH 5th
Directions:
42 Lilac Drive Flemington, NJ 08822
