NATIONAL MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FIRST WEEKEND SPECIAL GUESTS

It’s been 200 years since the pioneering Flinn family moved to southern Indiana, but the sap still runs sweet from the trees. Jacob Flinn, the great-great-great-great-great grandfather of Angie Burton of Burton’s Maplewood, is famous for his capture and escape from the Potawatomi after the Leesville Massacre of 1813. To honor his legacy, three of Jacob’s direct descendants – his great-great-great grandchildren – will be the special guests March 6th and 7th.

Come and visit with:
• Katherine Flinn Williams of Bedford, IN.
• Juanita Flinn Eglen of Medora, IN.
• Ralph Flinn of Seymour, IN.
