Sugar Shack | Cabane à Sucre (in French)

A sugar shack (French: cabane à sucre), also known as sap house, sugar house, sugar shanty, or sugar cabin is a semi-commercial establishment, primarily found in Eastern Canada and northern New England.

Where did Sugar shacks originate?
Sugar Shacks ("Cabane à sucre" in French) are small cabins in the woods where sap is collected from the nearby maple trees and boiled into maple syrup through a technique originally developed by the Indigenous and passed on to the French colonizers of New-France.

Who invented the sugar shack?
The early settlers took up homesteading in McDonalds Corners in the early 1820's. The crown granted a title to this land in 1825. They made maple syrup over an open fire and hanging cauldron. Clarence and Mary Robinson built this sugar shack and started making maple syrup in it in 1936.
