COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Join The Farmers' Museum for what has become a springtime tradition for families and friends throughout the region, Sugaring Off Sundays.  This annual event, which honors the maple sugaring season, will be held each Sunday in March (March 6, 13, 20, and 27).  The event features historic and contemporary sugaring demonstrations, children's activities and more. A full pancake breakfast will be served from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. with other activities scheduled 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

You'll be treated to demonstrations of traditional of maple sugaring. Other hands-on demonstrations will allow you to participate and experience aspects of this time-honored practice.

Children's activities will take place in the Filer's Corners Schoolhouse throughout the day and maple cooking demonstrations will be held in the More House. Visitors are invited to have a taste of "jack wax" - hot maple syrup poured over snow! The blacksmith will also be working in his shop - stop in to watch a true craftsman.

In addition, the Empire State Carousel, a favorite attraction at The Farmers' Museum, will be open.  You can also find spring items, unique gifts, crafts, and books at The Farmers' Museum Store and Todd's General Store.
