Senate House: Sugaring Off - 18th Century Style

Stop by Senate House on Saturday, April 2, 2022, from 11 AM to 4 PM and participate in our annual Sugaring Off event! We will be having demonstrations of boiling maple sap down to syrup, hewing a log into a trough, and hearthside cooking. Local militia units will also be on-site demonstrating 18th-century camp life. Nick Martin from Minnewaska State Park will be making maple candy for visitors to enjoy. Plus, Mark Rust will be providing musical entertainment including a variety of musical instruments such as the banjo, violin, guitar, and spoons. This is a free family-friendly event! Senate House is located at 296 Fair Street, Kingston.
