MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to postpone Maple Syrup Festival during 2021. We are going to be offering many programs related to maple syruping during the month of March - March Maple Madness! To find more information and register for these program please click here.​ ​

Maple Syrup Festival is community event that celebrates the sugar maple trees at Hartman Reserve. Attendees enjoy all-you-can-eat pancakes topped with maple syrup, sausage, coffee and Hansen's milk & dairy. A raffle is part of this fundraiser as well as educational exhibits. The Sugar Shack, where maple tree sap is cooked down into maple syrup, is open for the public to learn how maple syrup is made and help collect sap.

​Maple Tickets go on the sale the first business day of February. Call Hartman at 319-277-2187 for will-call credit card purchases or stop by the Interpretive Center during business hours Monday through Friday 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m.- 5:00 p.m.

This event could not be possible without all of our sponsers. Thank you so much to our supportive community!
