Sugarcane Event at the Durst Taylor Historic House and Gardens

Like sugar? Love history?

On Saturday, January 17, anyone who loves history, fun or sweets may join the city of Nacogdoches and the Friends of Historic Nacogdoches for the annual Sugarcane Event at the Durst Taylor Historic House and Gardens, located at 304 North St.

Beginning at 8:30 a.m., there will be live entertainment, children’s games and crafts.

Best of all there will be an actual demonstration of cane syrup-making on an open fire with a real mule powering the sugarcane mill.

In addition, ribbon cane syrup will be available to top the fresh pancakes served by the Nacogdoches Kiwanis Club.

Children are especially welcomed for this demonstration. For more information, call (936) 560-4443.
