The New England Maple Museum is conveniently located in the heart of Maple Country, nestled in the foothills of the Green Mountains. It offers a trip through over 200 years of maple sugaring history starting with the Native American discovery that maple sap cooked over an open fire produces sweet syrup. It has the most complete collection of sugaring artifacts in existence from an ancient block of wood with a sap collecting gash made by American Indians to modern plastic pipeline.
