DAY TRIPPING A Sweet Escape Visit the Region's Sugarhouses for This Year's Annual Open Sugarhouse Weekend this March

Maple Month is coming up in March, and this year, The New Hampshire Maple Producers Association, Inc. — a nonprofit trade association dedicated to promoting New Hampshire's sugarhouses and maple syrup — will be celebrating 81 years. &emsp;Among several public events that the association organizes is the Annual Open Sugarhouse Weekend, which happens every year on the third weekend in March. The 2024 Maple Weekend will occur this year on March 16 and 17 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. &emsp;This is a great time to check out local sugarhouses. You can tour the place and see how syrup is made and even get to sample some of the delicious New Hampshire maple syrup. &emsp;Below is the information on sugarhouses in the Monadnock Region that have participated in past years. Some sugarhouses have different hours, so check ahead before heading out.
