Maple Sugaring Time at Dudley Farm Museum
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 02/22/2026
February is Maple Sugaring Time at the Dudley Farm Museum! Every February, weather permitting, volunteers at the Dudley Farm make their way to the maple sugaring house in the woods behind the new Quinnipiac Dawnland Museum and Munger Barn. There, the century old “cooker” is fired up, maple sap collected, and the slow process of turning gallons of maple sap into maple syrup is done the way the Dudley family did it for over 100 years. We welcome visitors to join us to learn more about how syrup was made 100 years ago. You can even help out if you’d like. Warm yourself by a wood fire, listen to a few tall tales and watch the watery sap slowly turn into liquid gold.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
The sugar house was rebuilt in the 1990’s on the original site, thanks to the local Rotary Club. If weather cooperates, wetap some of our trees, collect the sap that fills the metal buckets,and demonstrate how the Dudleys produced this valuable product in a traditional way.
