New Hampshire Maple Experience

 

Maple Sugaring


Through our New Hampshire Maple Experience, visitors may explore the history and process of creating sweet maple syrup from the sap of sugar maple trees. Maple Tours have traditionally been offered at The Rocks during sugaring season - late March and early April. And now, thanks to the New Hampshire Maple Experience museum, housed in one of many renovated historic buildings at The Rocks, we also offer Maple Tours during the summer and fall months.

The Wild Turkey Tour


Almost our National Bird! A native species of North America, the wild turkey was extirpated from New Hampshire and many other states by 1900, due to unregulated hunting and loss of habitat. But the turkey has recovered remarkably, thanks in large part to a dedicated conservation effort, and the large birds are commonly sighted in fields and meadows throughout New Hampshire. Participants in the Wild Turkey Program have the opportunity to touch feathers, see spurs, and hear the sounds of the wild turkey as they discover how the bird got its name and how it was domesticated and learn about different sub-species of turkey, including a tropical form of the turkey.
