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.

For hardy
adventurers who take the opportunity to experience Marion County and Ohio
