Welcome to the Thumb Octagon Barn Farm Museum. Each spring we do a School Tours event for the children of our area. We thank you for attending this year’s event.
The Sugar Shack is a building that would be in the woods where the evaporator is used for boiling the sap - which is made up of mostly water - from maple trees into the delicious syrup that you put on your pancakes. The history of making maple syrup beginning with Native Americans to the present will be told in a short minute video. There is also a display/discussion of equipment used through the years and now to make maple syrup.
