Storrowton Village, Maple Harvest Day & Pancake Breakfast
March 15 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm EDT
Storrowton Village Museum celebrates all things maple on Maple Harvest Day every year in mid-March. The annual event highlights the history and tradition of maple sugaring in New England.
The West Springfield Lions Club will flip pancakes, served with pure New England maple syrup, in the Village’s red Greenwich Barn from 10am to noon. Pick up a plate for $5 per person, with a side of sausages and coffee or juice. All proceeds from the pancake breakfast will be donated to Storrowton’s educational programs.
The historic Gilbert Farmhouse will turn into a sugarhouse for the day. Visitors can learn how the “liquid gold” is made, from tree tapping to sap boiling, and watch 19th century open hearth cooking demonstrations of maple recipes. FREE Docent-led tours and 19th century craft demos will also be available in the Gilbert Farmhouse.
Visit the Eastern States Exposition Farmers Market while you’re here.
