Day 2 of the Apple Butter Festival at Century Village Museum in Burton, Ohio, is underway!
Stop up and churn some apple butter.

Today, when you come to the Apple Butter Festival, take a tour of the Geauga County Maple Museum, one of over a dozen historic buildings open today!

It is the only Maple Museum in Ohio with an active working Sugarbush and one of only 6 in the United States.

For over 200 years, the Century Village Museum has been an active working farm, and the Sugarbush in the photo below is the farm's second. We know where the first Sugarbush was located; however, it has long since collapsed.

Did you know that in the mid-to-late 1800s, Geauga County was the country's largest Maple producer?

The Maple Museum now houses the third active working Sugarbush on this Historic Farm!
