Prairie Sugar Day

September 28 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Free with site admission

Prized in the mid-19th century as a homegrown sweetener, sorghum enjoyed a brief renaissance during the Civil War years when Union blockades made cane sugar a rare commodity.

Help our farmers harvest, press, and turn sorghum into syrup. Then sample a treat made with this unique sweetener.
