Maple Sugaring Day: A Fur Trade Living History Event

Join us on March 14th for Maple Sugaring Day at Heritage Hill. Late winter and early spring in historic Green Bay was a time for tapping maples and boiling sap. Rooted in Indigenous tradition and continued by European settlers, the process included tapping trees, gathering sap, shaping birchbark containers and carefully boiling the liquid into syrup and sugar.  Come visit La Baye to watch interpreters replicate these historic processes!

Watch interpreters tap trees, gather sap, build birchbark containers and boil syrup down into sugar using historic methods.

In addition to La Baye, the buildings in our Growing Community (including Tank Cottage) and Cotton House will be open with interpreters. Visitors are welcome to purchase tickets at the front desk for a Birch Bark Sugar Cone workshop that will be going on that day as well.
