Mumford, N.Y. – In celebration of the return of maple sugaring season in New York State, Genesee Country Village & Museum will host its annual Maple Sugar Festival on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, March 15, 16, 17, 22, 23 and 24.
Visitors are invited to explore the Museum’s modern-day sugarhouse where fresh syrup will be boiling, then journey into a 19th-century sugar camp staffed by costumed historical educators to learn about the techniques and tools used by early settlers used to collect sap and make maple sugar.
Head into the Historic Village to see maple sugar used in historic kitchens, explore Hodinöhsö:ni’ cultural traditions and storytelling, see maple sugaring artifacts on display from the Museum’s collection, and more.
From the Nature Center to the Historic Village, visitors will explore all aspects of a New York staple: maple syrup. Guests are encouraged to select the “Festival + Maple Breakfast Combo Ticket” (limited quantities available) to add on a maple-inspired breakfast buffet to fuel outdoor adventures.
