Maple Sugar Day at Navarre Anderson Trading Post
Call the Museum for details.
Presented by
Visitors to the
trading post complex will visit a 1790s maple sugar camp. The ‘sugar
bush’ was a late winter activity that occurred when the sap began to
rise into the trees as early spring approached. Visitors can watch as
living historians make maple syrup following 18th century
methods. Syrup was first used by Native Americans who discovered the
maple tree’s sap, when cooked, reduced to a sweet amber syrup. The hot
syrup, when reaching this phase was often poured out onto fresh snow,
which froze the syrup upon contact into a sugary candy. Further boiling
of the syrup allows the sugar to solidify and be formed into cakes.
Maple syrup has been enjoyed by both Native Americans and the European
settlers for hundreds of years, just as we enjoy it today. ---------------------------------------------------- In June, visit an 1810 Militia Muster at the
