Maple Sugar Time

1941 • Directed by

Stanley Hawes

A narrated examination of old-fashioned maple sugar production in the St. Lawrence Valley. Footage shows local farmers tapping trees and gathering sap in the sugar bush; sleds being pulled variously by dog, horse, and ox; the boiling of sap in cauldrons and the casting of sugar in wooden molds; and a sugaring-off party at which local youths gather to taste the first maple sugar of the season.
