March is the time of year when the nights are cold and the days are warm and the syrup from the maple trees begins to flow. The interesting thing about these pails is that they are not located deep in a forest of maples, rather in Concord Center by the Concord "Town House."
When it was originally built in 1851, it was a Town House in that it accommodated many functions including church, meeting place, classroom, offices and it also housed the Town Hall. The brick architecture of this Town Hall is very different from the pillared white wooden structures of Lincoln and Sudbury's Town Halls.Its new function appears to be Maple Syrup farm. Maybe a new means of generating funds for the town in these hard times.

I lived in Maine for a few years but I never actually saw maple syrup being "harvested". I'm glad to have filled that hole in my education. :-)
Thanks for your visit to Villigen. I've answered your questions over there.
I like this! However, I don't think I have any idea where it is.
I like the angle you shot it at.
