Adirondack Maple Sugaring History Presentation

I recently had the honor of doing a joint online presentation about Adirondack maple sugaring with Ivy Gocker, Library Director at the Adirondack Experience – The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake. Specifically, our presentation focused on the history of the maple sugaring operation of Abbot Augustus Low’s Horse Shoe Forestry Company in the Adirondacks 120 years ago.

We focused on this topic in particular to describe some of the research found in my new book A Sugarbush Like None Other: Adirondack Maple Syrup and the Horse Shoe Forestry Company and to share some of the great Horse Shoe Forestry Company maple sugaring items in the collections of the Adirondack Experience.

If you missed it and would like to watch you the program, you are in luck. The Adirondack Museum recorded our ZOOM webinar and has graciously shared it on their website, which you can find at this link or by clicking on the image above. This program was made possible by a partnership between the Adirondack Experience and co-sponsored the Albany Public Library.
