The Milton Historical Society is proud to host this free Vermont Humanities Council event in Milton! Maple is enormously important to Vermont's economy, ecology, and heritage. Join Champlain College professor Michael Lange as he presents sugaring ethnographically, based on over five years of research among sugar makers all over the state, learning from them what sugaring really means to Vermont. Rather than discussing the practical aspects of sugaring, such as how to tap a tree or how an evaporator works, his talk 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. Refreshments will be available and please feel free to bring a favorite maple treat to share!
