LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve is hosting Maple Sugaring Days and the 1843 Durant House will be open!

Join us on Saturday, March 7 and Sunday, March 8 from 1-4 PM to hear how the pioneers used maple sugar and maple syrup as an organic sweetener.   Enjoy the fire in the hearth room as we discuss 19th-century recipes.  And, bring the kids and grandkids to spend time in the Parlor where you can learn and play old fashioned parlor games.

The Durant House Museum has a suggested donation of $3 per adult and $2 per child for special events.
