Coggeshall Farm Museum in Bristol, RI
This will be a great morning to participate in the maple sugaring process and learn more about the history of maple sugar in our region compared to other areas throughout New England. There will be learning stations set up throughout the farm and participants can go through the stations at their own pace. We will have a station set up to carve spiles, tap the maple tree, learn the tricks for identifying maple trees in winter, create a maple leaf craft, learn about the boiling off the water from the sap, and more maple fun!
Pre-registration is required for this program. To help spread out arrivals, please sign up for a specific entry time below.
