As inexorable as the sunrise or the change of season, maple sugaring time has returned to northeast Ohio. And if you want to know the backstory on that bottle of syrup you bought at the grocery store to pour on your pancakes, now’s the time to find out.
There are several maple sugar festivals in the area, including the two-weekend event at Hale Farm & Village, the recreated 19th-century Ohio village in Bath run by the Western Reserve Historical Society. For four days, visitors can come to enjoy a pancake-and-sausage breakfast in order to taste some of that syrup, the explore the village and the demonstrations of old-time crafts and trades, such as candlemaking, spinning, and of course, tapping male trees for sap and boiling down the sap into syrup.
Admission is $17, which includes breakfast, served until 3pm; kids 3-12 are $12. Without breakfast tickets are $12 and $6, respectively.
