At the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Maple Sugar Festival, your family can learn how to make maple sugar in your own backyard. Visit the sugar bush to see the tapped trees, collect the sap and learn how to boil the sap down like Colonial Americans at the Three Kettle Station. You'll also see a more modern method at the Sugar Shed. Reward your hard work by sampling the delicious homemade syrup, sugar on snow taffy and pure maple sugar. All ages are welcome to this free event.
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Rockwoods Reservation. Reservations are NOT necessary for this free event.
