TAMWORTH, NH, FEBRUARY 28, 2026 — March is Maple Month in New Hampshire, and there’s no sweeter place to celebrate than at the historic Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm in the village of Tamworth. This year, visitors are invited to “Tap into Maple Month” with two distinct experiences that bring the sights, systems, stories and sweetness of sugaring season to life.
Take a Guided Maple Sugaring Tour
Enjoy sweeping views of the Remick property as you discover the fascinating journey of maple sap, from tree to table. Offered weekly in March (Thursday–Saturday at 11:00 a.m.; no tour Saturday, March 21), the Maple Sugaring Tour offers an engaging, in-depth look at the traditions and science behind one of New England’s most beloved harvests.
Led by your knowledgeable guide, guests will explore: The history of sap collecting in New Hampshire; Which trees are tapped — and how; How weather patterns impact sap flow; The effects of climate change on modern sugaring; The sap boiling process.
Tours run March 5–7, March 12–14, March 19 and 20, and March 26–28. Guests are encouraged to preregister online or by calling (603) 323-7591. On-site registration is available by 10:45 a.m. on the day of the tour; however, space is limited.
Stop by for the Annual Open House in the Sugarhouse
In celebration of New Hampshire Maple Weekend, the public is invited to the museum’s working sugarhouse from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for their annual Open House in the Sugarhouse event, located on Great Hill Road in Tamworth Village.
Throughout the event, visitors can: Watch demonstrations of the modern wood-fired sap evaporator and Dr. Edwin “Doc” C. Remick’s (1903–1993) handmade backyard sap boiler; Learn about the history of maple sugaring through historical tools and wall exhibits; Explore a model showcasing modern sap extraction systems using tubing. To take home a taste of the season, Remick-made maple bacon jam and maple bourbon candied nuts, as well as locally made maple products, are available for sale while supplies last.
This free, family-friendly event offers a unique opportunity to experience both the heritage and innovation behind maple production — all set against the picturesque backdrop of early spring on the farm. Some aspects of this event may be affected by seasonal conditions.
A Sweet Tradition, A Living History
From centuries-old sugaring techniques to today’s evolving practices, Maple Month at Remick blends history, science, and hands-on discovery.
