Join The Trustees of Reservations to welcome the sugaring season!  There is no better place to be than the sugar shack. The smell of maple syrup in the air, the warm feeling next to the fire, and the smiles of all your family and friends close by. We love this season and want to share it with you! Join us for a morning filled with maple goodness. Tour our sugar shack and see how we turn sap into syrup, and stay warm by the campfire, visit the barnyard, and enjoy our own maple syrup on fresh pancakes.
