I am please to share an article recently written and published by Laurie Jordan of Essex Junction, Vermont on the history of the Vermont Maple Syrup Company building. Laurie Jordan, along with her husband Joe Jordan is a syrup maker, collector of maple industry antiques, and an avocational historian.
The syrup company building was constructed in 1916 in Essex Junction, Vermont by F.N. Johnson for his Vermont Maple Syrup Company. Between 1916 and 1991, this building was been home to a number of important maple syrup packers and bottling companies, inlcuding Vermont Maid syrup, Vermont Maple Orchards, and United Maple Products of Vermont. Although it has been put to uses other than maple syrup processing in the last 30 years, it is still standing in its original location.
