Come to the FELCO Room at the Homestead in Franklin on Saturday, February 10th at 11 AM to hear Champlain College professor Michael Lange's presentation on The Many Meanings of Maple. Maple is enormously important to Vermont's economy, ecology, and heritage, and as another sugaring season gets underway in northern Vermont, Michael will give us his take, based on over five years of research among sugarmakers all over the state. Rather than discussing the practical aspects of sugaring, he focuses on how and why maple has become so important to Vermont's identity, and how and why it helps us shape who we are as Vermonters. We'll enjoy some maple-based goodies after the talk as well! It's sure to be a sweet time for all.
This talk is a Vermont Humanities Council program hosted by the Haston Library. It is free, open to the public, and accessible to those with disabilities.
