CAMDEN ‚— The Camden-Rockport Historical Society invites the public to celebrate Maine Maple Sunday on March 23 from noon to 3 p.m. and get immersed in the tradition of maple syrup production.

Maine Maple Sunday is celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of March, with various sugarhouses across the state participating  in this sweet tradition.

Learn about the tree tapping and sap boiling process firsthand from Camden and Rockport locals who have passed down the tradition for generations. This year, Keryn Annis, owner of the Goose River Greenery farmstand in Rockport, will be manning the Sugar Shack and sharing some of his favorite tricks of the sap trade.  

Marshmallows will be roasted over the fire pit and ice cream will be served, made perfec with drizzled syrup. The historic homestead, barn and blacksmith shop will all be open, and there will be fiddle music in the museum.

The event is free and open to all, making it an ideal outing for families and individuals eager to experience a quintessential Maine tradition.
