LIVERMORE — Experience a late winter ritual done the old-fashioned way from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, March 22, at the Norlands, Maine’s oldest living history farm and museum.

In celebration of Maine Maple Sunday, visitors can enjoy fresh, hot pancakes and sausage, served with Norlands’ own maple syrup, in the historic farmer’s cottage.

Sap boiling demonstrations take place in the sugar house. Help tap trees and collect sap. Meet the school’marm in the one-room schoolhouse who will encourage you to practice your mental arithmetic and penmanship using a quill pen under her watchful eye.
