 Beginning at 10 am, crafts, activities and
demonstrations will take place at the Visitor Center,
Homestead Farm, Log Schoolhouse, Sugarhouse and
Sugarbush. In the Visitor Center, kids will love playing
maple tree games, making a paper mokuk and a
"sappy" bracelet to take home. The
woodcarvers and quilters will also be demonstrating
their amazing talents.
Nearby at the wigwam, learn about Native
American life along the Pine River through traditional
skills using all-natural materials.
 Visitors can also take a
hay wagon ride to the Sugarhouse to see how we boil sap
into pure maple syrup at CNC. You'll also find an 1870s
sap boiling demonstration, Sugarbush tours and a
tree-tapping activity. To get the feel for settler life,
visit the Log Cabin and chat with the cabin hostess,
where you can see a woodstove cooking demonstration and
do a stenciling craft.
In the Log Schoolhouse, everyone can sing along to
original songs in the "Maple Music Matinee" with Dennis
Pilaske and Kerry Maloney, and watch a special puppet play about this sweet
time of year!
Also be sure and visit Nature Preschool open house
from 10 am-2 pm to meet the teachers, see the classrooms and outdoor
play areas, ask questions about the curriculum,
learn about scholarship opportunities and much more!
