Maple syrup is so much more than a pancake topper.
Saturday,
March 7th (12-4pm) and Sunday, March 8th (12-4pm)
Join us at our
46th Annual Maple Sugar Days to hear the surprising stories behind
your favorite sticky treat:
Learn how the indigenous peoples of
North America created the first maple sugar and continue their sacred
tradition today. Meet our Maple Trees and discover the science behind
their sweet, spring sap. Travel back in time to an old-fashioned sugar
camp and hear tales of how hardworking folks (including kids) created
syrup in the early days of Wisconsin. Try your hand at drilling a log
and hammering in a spile. Smell the sweet steam as we boil down sap
and learn how to create syrup in your own backyard. Taste maple sugar
and enjoy a warm pancake topped with Wisconsin maple syrup. Sample a
flight of syrup to discover the amazing variations in maple flavors
for an additional fee. Learn how your actions to combat climate change
can help protect this tradition for future generations. Maple-inspired
food and treats will be on sale. Shop the Nature Store for DIY
equipment, books, maple candy, and more!
