March 11 maple sugarin’ to focus on historic Ohio industry

A Maple Sugarin’ event will take place at Litzenberg Memorial Woods on Saturday, March 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Learn how the pioneers and Native Americans used to collect sap, transport it to the sugar bush and boil it down to produce the sweet maple syrup that we still love today.

You can also learn about sap science and sap-loving animals, and take a tour through the historic McKinnis House. A beaded key chain activity will take place in the shelter. Fruth’s Sugarhouse will be in the barn selling their maple products. The Maple Sugarin’ event is free and is open to everyone.

Litzenberg Memorial Woods is located at 6100 U.S. 224, west of Findlay.
