*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 03/10/2024
How does sap become maple syrup? What temperatures are needed to make the sap flow? How do you tap a tree? Join us for an exploration of Michigan's sweetest winter crop, maple syrup! Identify and tap a maple tree, tour the sugar shack, explore fun maple-themed activities, take a wagon ride, taste maple sap, syrup, and sugar, and explore maple tools and technology. Enjoy an 'all-you-can-eat pancake celebration in the historic 19th-century barn. Pancakes (prepared by Chris Cakes of Michigan), sausage, and of course, pure maple syrup will be provided!
