POSTPONED: Mabee Maple Day

POSTPONED UNTIL MARCH 2021 As winter cold begins to recede, the ground unfreezes and the sap starts to run. On a New York farm, the first harvest of the year was always maple syrup. In this family-friendly program, you’ll learn the process for yourself. From tapping to boiling to sampling some sweet maple treats, we’ll do it all. Pre-Registration Required. Tickers are $8/person, for adults and kids 3+. Register at www.schenectadyhistorical.org/programs

Terry McMaster is an independent historian whose research focuses on the American Revolution in the Mohawk Valley and on the settlement patterns, family connections and border warfare along colonial New York’s western frontier in the 18th Century. $5 or free for SCHS members.
