Historians at Old Sturbridge Village demonstrate early New England maple sugar-making at the village's own working "Sugar Camp." In the 1830s, New England farm families tapped approximately 100 trees in order to make 400 pounds of sugar each season.
Visitors to Maple Days and Maple Sugaring at Old Sturbridge Village can experience the entire sugar-making process, from tapping the trees to sugaring off. "Indian Doctress", Molly Geet presents programs on Algonkian "Maple Sugar Moon Stories" and other Native-American programs.
