Sugar Shack

Part of an 1870s homestead site at the Chippewa Nature Center, near Midland, Michigan, this sugarhouse is the same one seen from a distance in a shot that I posted a couple of days ago. This image is a 3-shot HDR processed in Topaz Impression for Sliders Sunday.

 

In 1870, farmers in Midland County produced 2,400 pounds of maple sugar. The building shown here was originally a farm home built in 1868, and was transported to this site and reconstructed as a sugarhouse. Sap boiling demonstrations are presented during maple syrup season in March, but there was nothing going on when I was there earlier this month.
