Maple Syrup Family Day
Saturday, March 28, 2026 ~ 9am-4pm
Do
you know how maple syrup is made? Did you know it takes 40 gallons of
sap to make just one gallon of the delicious syrup? Come to the
Richfield Historical Park on March 28, 2026, and see maple trees tapped, sap drip - drip - dripping into the bags
fastened to the trees and steam hovering above the boiler while the sap
bubbles.
Enjoy a pancake breakfast with delicious 'real' maple syrup drizzled over your stack of cakes. Go to the Nature Park Pavilion to purchase your pancakes.
Experience
pioneer life by seeing outdoor cooking, watching a 'smith' at work,
shelling some corn and more fun activities. Buy maple cotton candy and
enjoy its delicious taste.
Again This Year - Maple Syrup Contest
Samples of syrup from maple syrup producers are entered into the contest. The syrup is rated for density, clarity, flavor, color and container/label. Three qualified judges will taste the entries and determine the winners. Visitors are welcome to watch the judging.
