It's Maple Sugaring Season at the SM&NC, and we're tons of festival fun into a single admission price, three Sundays this winter!

Join us for our annual First County Bank Maple Sugar Fest Sundays as we make our very own line of maple syrup from the 200+ mature maple trees found right here on our 118-acre campus. We're one of only two official maple sugar producers in Fairfield County!

Each Sunday we'll open our site at 10 am with added attractions, enhanced programming, fun seasonal offerings, free giveaways, and traditional favorites like Native American, Colonial and Modern sugaring demonstrations until 2 pm.
