Maple Museum, Croghan, N.Y.

 Back to Croghan on another day trip we visited the American Maple Museum.  It opened around 30 years ago in a former three story parochial school.
 An old snowmobile used to gather maple sap.
 Scenes of sugaring in the old days.
 An old  lumber camp kitchen
 Maple syruping equipment
 An antique vessel used by Indians to gather sap.
 An old boiler.
 Taps.
Maple sugar candy molds.  Major funding for the museum is derived from frequent breakfasts of pancakes, sausage and pure maple syrup served by volunteers.  Yum.
