Most sugarhouses offer maple syrup samples and demonstrations on how pure Maine maple syrup is made. Many farms offer games, activities, treats, sugarbush tours, music, and so much more.

Maine Maple Sunday is always the fourth Sunday in March although some sugarhouses are offering events for both Saturday and Sunday. Please be sure to read the description of each sugarhouse to know what times they will be open and the activities they offer.

Spanning over 60 years of Ralph Steadman’s influential and lauded career, the exhibition fills the museum’s upper and lower galleries with more than 140 original artworks and ephemera, including sketchbooks, handwritten notes, and personal photographs. Steadman is best known for his long collaboration with Hunter S. Thompson, notably illustrating 1971’s "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream," a partnership that defined Gonzo journalism, a style of reporting that blends personal experience with political commentary. Interactive resources in the exhibition will encourage visitors to look deeply and make connections between works.
