A Video of 1940's Tree Tapping and Sap Collection

The video below shows the laborious task of collecting the sugar water from the tree, gathering it into the sugar wagon and taking the sap to the lodge where it can be turned into maple products.

The below footage was recently obtained by the Pennsylvania Maple Festival through an area resident who had the video and wanted it preserved. The footage is believed to be taken by Moldy Baker of Boynton, Pennsylvania. It was shot on location at Keim's Sugar Camp in Salisbury, Pennsylvania.
