The Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site in Johnson City, Tennessee will host its 23rd Annual Maple Syrup Festival and pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14.
Come out to Tipton-Haynes to discover the history, lore and method of making maple syrup.
See how the sap is extracted from the maple trees located throughout the grounds of the site and then watch as the sap is boiled down over a wood fired furnace until it becomes the rich, flavorful maple syrup.
From 8-11 a.m., a pancake breakfast with syrup from the Maple Grove Farm of Afton, Tennessee, will allow visitors to enjoy the deliciousness of nature. Accompanying the pancakes will be bacon, sausage, grits and more. Juice, coffee, water and milk will also be available.
Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under (children 3 and under are free) while admission with breakfast is $10 for adults and $5 for children. As always, Tipton-Haynes members are free.
Donations are welcomed and will help the site continue its mission and values. Genuine maple syrup from Maple Grove Farm will also be for sale.
