New England Maple Museum

This tiny museum traces the history of maple sugaring in Vermont. Read about how Native Americans discovered that maple sap cooked on an open fire produced maple syrup, ponder the antique photos of Vermont’s maple-sugar-makers, and inspect antique and modern sugaring utensils and equipment. You’ll also learn how maple syrup is made today, from tapping trees to placing syrup into the bottles that appear on the table at pancake breakfasts.
