Maple Sirup Days

Sirup is the old-fashioned spelling referring to the pure way of making the liquid with no sugar added. Today, most of the maple syrup you find in grocery stores is the processed version with sugar and preservatives to give it a longer shelf life and the slightly different and more common name. But regardless of how it is spelled, this amazing, educational, family-friendly event is well worth the trip as participants experience how this sweet treat was created back when the early settlers learned the technique from the Native Americans. Watch demonstrations and participate in hands-on activities over two Saturdays from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Feb. 28 and March 7. You can even try McCloud’s sirup during their pancake breakfast fundraisers each of those Saturdays by reservation only. Call the parks office at (317) 718-6188.
