Maple sugar house. Two men stand beside a wooden gathering tank on a specially built low wagon being pulled by a team of horses. The wagon is on a mound at the end of the sugarhouse so the sap can be unloaded downhill into the building’s storage tank. Photograph by James Fynmore. 1965. Boonville, NY.
