Overview
Maple Day at Mt. Kearsarge Celebrates Traditional Native Practices
Warner, NH — March 21, 2026, Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum invites the public to welcome the return of spring with Maple Day, a family-friendly program celebrating the traditional practice of maple sugaring at 18 Highlawn Rd., Warner, NH. The outdoor program will run from 10am - 2pm and is free to the public.
For thousands of years, maple sugaring marked an important seasonal tradition for local Native communities. As spring approached, families gathered to tap maple trees, collect sap, and transform it into syrup and sugar using time-honored methods. More than a source of sweetness, maple sugar was an essential food, medicine, and trade item, deeply connected to cultural teachings and relationships with the land; these traditions continue today.
Program Highlights Include:
🍁Observe maple sap boiling over a traditional outdoor fire pit
🍁Demonstration clay pots donated by NH artist Eric Maglio - maglioceramics.com
🍁Play a variety of Native American games
🍁Mounted Animal Specimens from the Harris Center for Conservation - harriscenter.org/
🍁Learn how acorns are traditionally transformed into pancakes…topped with maple syrup
🍁Enjoy maple baked goods and hot beverages, available by donation
🍁Community Partners from ABA will be available to discuss services for people on the Autism Spectrum - abacenters.com/about-us/
