Traditional Sugar Bush

See the Traditional Way Native Americans Made Maple Sugar.

Visit an authentic Sugar Bush and see how Native Americans made maple sugar hundreds of years ago with traditional tools. See how sap is collected and boiled over an open fire.  Watch the maple syrup turn into sugar when worked by hand. Make snow taffy, weather permitting.

See the traditional Bark House, used as a portable shelter by Native Americans.

All free and open to the public.  Maple syrup and sugar will be available for purchase.
