                                               What is Sugaring Off?


Since 1796, Sugaring Off has been one of Central New York’s sweetest goodbyes to winter and the tastiest harbingers of spring.


Please join us April 13-14, 2013 for the 37th Annual Sugaring Off at Herkimer Home State Historic Site. This great social event has hundreds of happy visitors who join costumed staff and volunteers in recreating the taste, aroma, and spirit of a colonial maple sugaring bee.
