The Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival enjoys a rich history that stretches as far back to the time of swing dancing, Amos ‘n’ Andy, The Andrews Sisters, and zoot suits. Part of reworking our digital presence includes digitizing and archiving the festival’s 80-plus year history for future generations to enjoy. These archives will be curated as time permits. Enjoy!
