Once again we are a participating site for the Somerset County Maple Producers Maple Weekend: Taste and Tour in and around Somerset County.
Maple Heritage, History, Lore, and Education is the main focus for the Somerset Historical Center’s Taste and Tour experience where visitors can learn about maple sugaring techniques from the earliest records through the present day. See a pre-1850 lean-to operation, an 1860’s camp, and maple exhibits. Sample the “toothsome” maple taffy treat spotza, freshly stirred sugar, and burnt-sugar cake!
Grab your brochure and make plans to visit some, or all, of the 21 stops on the Taste and Tour. Learn about maple production and associated crafts and trades. Try your hand at tapping a tree and see the history and heritage of Somerset County on display.
Visit the Somerset County Maple Producers for more information.
