The annual Maple celebration returns on March 7th this year.
The celebration of New Brunswick’s maple heritage at the province’s Living History Museum will be held in partnership with the Luxor Shriners of New Brunswick.
You can see sugaring demonstrations and learn how folks lived in the winter in the mid-1800s by exploring the Welcome Centre, Hagerman House, Joslin Farm and The Gordon House. You will also be able to enjoy maple taffy.
The Luxor Shriners of New Brunswick will serve a pancake breakfast fundraiser to support children’s medical expenses.
Enjoy exploring the village on horse-drawn wagon rides, appreciate the large cauldrons boiling sap over open fires, and take in views of the 19th-century encampment.
Tickets can be purchased online and at the Welcome Centre.
