Maple Sugarhouse

This Sugarhouse is located at Chippewa Nature Center.  The log sugarhouse was originally built by Nicholas Shoff in 1868 as a home for his family. In 1978, volunteers dismantled the building on its original location near Clare, Michigan and transported it to Chippewa Nature Center. Rebuilt into a sugarhouse, a cupola was added to the roof for steam to escape during the sap boiling process. For more information visit www.chippewanaturecenter.org
