Save the Date for our Maple Sugar Festival on March 14, 2020, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Abenaki Legend
The Abenaki believed that the Creator gave many gifts to help man during his life and one of these gifts was maple syrup that would flow freely year-round from a broken tree limb. When the Creator saw the Abenaki not tending to their village or crops and just drinking the sweet sap the creator decided to teach them a lesson by making the sap flow once a year in the spring.
The Abenaki learned to honor the Creator’s gift by finding out that it would take a lot of work to make the syrup. To honor this gift they collected sap in birch bark buckets and prepared hot rocks to boil the sap from a thin liquid into a thick syrup.
