Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum invites the public to Maple Day, a family-friendly program celebrating the traditional practice of maple sugaring at 18 Highlawn Rd., Warner, NH

Maple Day at Mt. Kearsarge Celebrates Traditional Native Practices Warner, NH — March 21, 2026, Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum invites the public to welcome the return of spring with Maple Day, a family-friendly program celebrating the traditional practice of maple sugaring at 18 Highlawn Rd., Warner, NH. The outdoor program will run from 10am - 2pm and is free to the public.

For thousands of years, maple sugaring marked an important seasonal tradition for local Native communities. As spring approached, families gathered to tap maple trees, collect sap, and transform it into syrup and sugar using time-honored methods. More than a source of sweetness, maple sugar was an essential food, medicine, and trade item, deeply connected to cultural teachings and relationships with the land; these traditions continue today.

Program Highlights Include:

🍁Observe maple sap boiling over a traditional outdoor fire pit

🍁Demonstration clay pots donated by NH artist Eric Maglio - maglioceramics.com

🍁Play a variety of Native American games

🍁Mounted Animal Specimens from the Harris Center for Conservation - harriscenter.org/

🍁Learn how acorns are traditionally transformed into pancakes…topped with maple syrup

🍁Enjoy maple baked goods and hot beverages, available by donation

Community Partners from ABA will be available to discuss services for people on the Autism Spectrum - abacenters.com/about-us/ Maple Day

The name says it all! This freestyle ski contest is out to prove who’s got true skills and style.

Leave your Jib skis at home because “Bump N’ Jump” is all about turns, air, and style!

The course will be a basic bump run with a kicker or two and potentially a rail thrown into the mix. Skiers will be judged on speed, style, and overall impression. Old school tricks such as Iron Crosses, Screaming Seamen’s and Daffy’s are highly encouraged!

Here at Ragged, we appreciate the roots in freestyle skiing. We want to see what this generation of Freeskiers can do when they are put into a scenario where control and style reign supreme.

Spectators will be able to see the event from the 6-pack chair lift and/or alongside the course. The course will be roped off to competitors and event personnel only. Please respect the rules!

Join UNH Extension Master Gardener Maureen Sinclair to learn how to start growing vegetables without getting overwhelmed. What are the “easy” vegetables to grow? How do you pick healthy plants from the garden center? What should we be observing in our gardens? All these questions and many more will be answered to help you maximize early successes, learn by doing, and have fun growing vegetables.

Logistics:

This presentation will take place both indoors and outdoors at the Massabesic Center. We’ll start with a lecture in the main conference room and then head out to the garden, weather-permitting, to observe vegetable garden practices in action. The small partially fenced vegetable garden at Massabesic produces 400-500 pounds of food every year, despite sharing some of our crops with the local wildlife.

Dress for the weather for the short, easy walk from the dirt parking lot to the building, and from the building to the gardens. The trail through the gardens is flat packed gravel, suitable for most mobility devices including walkers and wheelchairs. Muddy conditions may be present, especially if you choose to walk into the grassy areas surrounding some garden spaces. An email will be sent out the day before the program with weather expectations.

This program is intended for adults. Children are welcome, however in the event of disruptions, we ask that children are accompanied by a guardian to enjoy the Nature Lab or gardens until the presentation concludes. Accommodations for persons with limited mobility, sensory concerns, or other accessibility needs can be provided if you contact Massabesic Center Director Kimmie Whiteman in advance.
