Learn How to Tap Maple Syrup
One of the many great things about the Hudson valley is that we have lots of great maple syrup. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I had anything but local maple syrup in my house. It’s readily available all year, it’s local and it’s delicious. Did you ever wonder what goes into tapping and making maple syrup?
The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum on Muser Drive in Cornwall is giving you the chance to learn all about local maple syrup on Saturday, Feb. 20, with tours starting at 11AM.. As winter ends, it’s maple sugaring time, and you will learn how to identify and tap sugar maple trees, discover sugaring techniques used by Native Americans, pioneers and modern-day farmers and see an evaporator in action.
