Self-guided maple tour

Posted

WAYNE COUNTY, PA — The 2015 Self-Guided Maple Tour will take place on Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

You can tour 10 area sugar bushes at your leisure, following the maple syrup making process from the tree to your table. Along the way, pick up some locally produced, pure maple products. The event is free. This year, two area volunteer groups have joined the tour, offering pancake breakfasts on Sunday featuring locally made, pure maple syrup. The Greene-Dreher Volunteer Fire Company will host a breakfast on Sunday in Newfoundland from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon, and the Costello-Monahan-Brown American Legion Post 964 will host a breakfast on Sunday at the Pleasant Mount Emergency Services Hall from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Maple sugaring has a long history in Wayne County. In the early days of Wayne County, many of the settlers used maple sugar as currency, to barter for goods, and some might even have paid for land with sugar. There are still many producers making maple syrup in this area today. For a map of the tour to follow with your family at your own leisure, visit wayneconservation.org or call 570/253-0930.
