Maple Sugaring Season is once again upon us and the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum is ready!

Maple Sugar Tours will continue on February 29 and on Saturday and Sunday, March 1, 7, 8, 14, 15 where two types of tours are offered. Sugar Bush Tours: 11am, 1pm & 2pm; are a one mile moderate hike through field and forest to the original Sugar Shack (terrain and weather conditions dependent). Maple Lane Tours: 12pm & 3pm; perfect for little legs, a short walk from the farmhouse to the Jacqueline L Grant Sugar Shack after a tour of the sugar maple stand. 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. On the final stop of the tour, visit the farmhouse for the “taste test challenge” to see if you can tell the difference between maple-flavored syrup and the real thing!
