Join us for the brand new April event series, Mouthful of Maple, brought to you in collaboration with Duluth Grill.

Every Wednesday night in April guests will have the chance to sample four different recipes by Duluth Grill that are made with locally sourced, maple syrup.

Why host a maple syrup event at Glensheen? Over 100 years ago, the Congdon family and the Hartley family would gather to celebrate the coming of spring for the time-intensive process of turning sap water into the sticky substance that we know and love to be… maple syrup.

We are lucky to have Debbie Morrison, the wife of Guilford Hartley’s Great Grandson from Sapsucker Farms giving the Syrup Symposium. Debbie will speak about the process of making syrup, their business and of course their family ties to the Hartleys and Congdon family.

Duluth Grill will give a brief demonstration or maple symposium, featuring a new recipe each week, and provide samples of the maple syrup-infused dish for the crowd. 

Doors open at 6:30 pm. The event is first to come, first served with a capacity of 50 people.
