The Maple Tree Inn

Tapping maple trees and making maple syrup is a common practice in our neck of the woods. In fact, for years my husband tapped the maple trees in the woods behind our house and cooked the syrup in a homemade cooker in our backyard. There was nothing better than the taste of freshly made syrup on our pancakes. It is a hard process since it takes forty gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. Don's health has caused him to not be able to do the work it takes anymore.

So when my friend Lynda asked if the coffee girls would be interested in going to the Maple Tree Inn for pancakes and real maple syrup we were happy. The Inn is near Angelica NY which is about an hour east of Bradford.

The Inn was about fifteen minutes from the highway and in the middle of the woods. They are only open two months when the sap runs. In fact, there wasn't even a sign in front of the building. We knew we were there when we saw all the cars. It looked like so many people we thought that we would have a long wait but when we got on the inside we realized that it was very large indoors.

 

The Maple Inn is famous for its buckwheat all you can eat pancakes and we all enjoyed breakfast. Afterwards we went to the small village of Angelica which is know for its antique stores.

We had fun browsing through these stores which are a lot bigger than they look like from the front. I bought a new hat and some doll dresses for Sara.

The houses were very old and had great architecture and I thought this fence made out of old shutter was untique.

We had a great road trip even though it rained...and poured most of the day.
