Five Things to Do This February in Princeton

February might bring cold temperatures to New Jersey, but it also brings a handful of fun, unique experiences to us too. Here are five ideas of things to put on your calendar this month. 

Tap the Maple Trees

Saturday, February 5th | 10AM-4PM | Howell Living History Farm

Hundreds of sugar maple trees line the banks of Moore's Creek and the nearby woods at the foot of Baldpate Mountain...and in February farmers begin the annual work of sap collection and maple syrup production. The first step takes place in the sugar bush, and at 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, and 3:00, visitors can join Howell Farm’s expert tree-tappers for a lesson in how to tap a backyard maple tree and make syrup at home. Demonstrations are limited to 25 participants, so register early to reserve your space! Outside activities include firewood cutting, rail splitting and, if conditions permit, a continuation of ice harvesting operations.
