sugar houses

Syrup production buildings

Sugar houses are buildings where maple sap is boiled down into syrup, found throughout New England and eastern Canada.

The term also refers historically to facilities for processing sugarcane into refined sugar.

In some regions, sugar houses operate as seasonal tourist attractions where visitors can watch syrup production and sample fresh maple products.
