The Old Fashion Sweet Tooth Sugarcane event will be held Saturday, January 12, 2013 from 8:00 to Noon at the Durst-Taylor Historic House and Gardens. We will press our sugarcane with an late 1800’s sugarcane mill powered by a mule. The cane will be pressed and then boiled into ribbon cane syrup. The Nacogdoches Kiwanis Club will sell pancake plates with all the fixings’ including cane syrup. The Nacogdoches Junior Forum will be collecting new women’s and children’s pajamas as part of their annual pancakes and pajamas program; all pajamas will be given to the Nacogdoches Women’s Shelter. We will have many other demonstrations and hands-on activities including blacksmithing, a spinning demonstration, crafts, tours of the Durst-Taylor Historic House and live string music. Bring your friends, family or anyone with a love of history or a sweet tooth! The mule will start pressing the sugarcane at 9:00 am, so arrive early if you would like to see the cane being pressed.
