(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 31, 2009 ) Forest City, Iowa -- Elderberry Inn Bed and Breakfast is located in the midst of several acres of trees, including many maple trees. In the early spring when the sap starts running in the maple trees, they were tapped to collect sap for making maple syrup. Water is boiled off the sap resulting in thick, sweet maple syrup. Native Americans boiled the water from their sap by dropping hot rocks in the container made of hollowed out logs.

The innkeeper, Carolyn Price, has two grandsons who are being taught by their grandfather how to make maple syrup. The story of their experience was reported by the Forest City Summit. http://www.forestcitysummit.com/articles/2009/03/24/news/news03.txt

Elderberry Inn Bed and Breakfast invites you to experience a time to reflect at a tranquil country inn during tree tapping time -- or any time. The Inn is located midway between Des Moines, Iowa, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and on the edge of Forest City. It has two suites with private bathrooms that include double whirlpools and a fireplace. A home cooked breakfast awaits you in the morning.
