We are near the end of our Walking Tour. The end of the yearly sugar season on Hurry Hill, and elsewhere, is marked by locals having heard three nights of spring peepers. Frogs sense the warmth of spring in the creek and ponds and know when spring is sprung. Hurry Hill hopes to carry on, and to inspire others to join, the sugarin’ tradition for centuries to come. We are grateful for your interest and help in preserving maple sugaring.
Finally, we like to relate what Dr. Benjamin Rush told President Thomas Jefferson, in 1791: “The general happiness which heaven seems to have prepared for mankind will be derived from the manufacture and general use of maple sugar.”
