Maple syrup is Ohio’s first harvest of the year and the sweetest. Sugarhouses
across Ohio open their doors and invite visitors to see firsthand how pure maple
syrup is made.
The March Maple Madness Driving Tour is a statewide event sponsored by the Ohio
Maple Producers Association and Ohio’s syrup makers.
Experienced syrup makers are on hand to answer questions during the free,
drive-it-yourself tour. Some stops are small, backyard ventures, while others
are large, commercial operations.
SATURDAY ONLY - A few select Amish sugarhouses are welcoming guests.
Maple syrup is made in only a small part of the entire world and Ohio sits in
the heart of that area. Bring the entire family, dress for the weather with
boots and coats, spend a day in Ohio’s beautiful countryside and see how clear,
sweet sap from the maple tree becomes golden, delicious maple syrup.

flashlight tours throughout the museum, a historic 1910 Federal Post
Office. For hardy adventurers who take the opportunity to experience
Marion County and Ohio history, it will be an exciting night with
surprises around every corner! Intrepid explorers will find over 50
characters each night ranging from Native Americans and pioneers to
Presidents and even a Vietnam soldier on patrol. Only at “A Night At
Heritage Hall” can visitors meet Civil War soldiers who regale them with
tales of war and glory, converse with a president or two, join a
Temperance march, and meet Quaker conductors on the Underground Railroad.
The event was inspired by the movie “Night At the Museum” where
good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is hired as night watchman
at the Museum of Natural History and discovers that all the exhibits come
to life after the sun sets.
