A Sweet Tradition Returns for Three Weekends in March!

As the temperatures rise and maple sap begins to flow, spring is just around the corner! Join the storytellers and artisans of Hale Farm and Village in the sugar camp, forest, farm, and village as they bring the rich flavors and traditions of 19th-century spring to life during this year’s Maple Sugar Festival.

Start your visit with a warm, delicious pancake breakfast at the Gatehouse Visitor Center from 10 AM to 2 PM, included with your museum-plus-breakfast ticket. Enjoy pancakes, sausage links, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, and milk—served up by Acme Fresh Market.

Experience live demonstrations of maple tree tapping and sap boiling, along with historic cooking, traditional crafts, seasonal activities, and hardworking draft animals—offering a glimpse into daily life on 1800s farms in the Cuyahoga Valley.

Don’t forget to stop by Hale Farm’s MarketPlace, open throughout the festival, featuring seasonal gifts, Ohio-made products, and historically inspired items.

Admission (Includes Pancake Breakfast):

- Adults: $25

- Youth (Ages 3–12): $16
