Bergen County President’s Day Weekend Events: Looking for something to do with the kids this President’s Day weekend? The Hermitage in Ho-Ho-Kus is hosting a maple sugaring event on Saturday, February 15, 2020 from 1:00 pm-4:00 pm. Take the kids outside to make their own maple syrup from trees, just like the Lenni-Lenape and American Colonists.
The Hermitage Master Gardeners will be tapping about 15 trees on the grounds of the National Historic Landmark. Learn how to tap maple trees and the importance of maple sugaring to the Lenape and early Dutch and English settlers in Northern New Jersey. Children 12 and older and adults will be able to tap the trees with the Master Gardeners.
Each family will be sent home with the equipment to tap the trees in their own yards and instructions on boiling the sap into syrup.
Admission includes a tour of the historic Hermitage, A National Historic Landmark.
The rain or heavy-snow date for this event is Sunday, February 16th.
All proceeds benefit the The Hermitage Museum.
Go to www.thehermitage.org to make reservations. The Hermitage is located at North Franklin Turnpoike in Ho-Ho-Kus. New Jersey.
