Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts - First Maple Syrup in Outer Space The Space Syrup may not be on public display much longer. Gray's Sugarhouse in Ashfield, Massachusetts, home of the First Maple Syrup in Outer Space , is closing at the end of the sugar season this year after 41 years in business.
The Gray family will continue to produce maple syrup and maple products.
When I asked Lyle Gray, son of family patriarch Willie Gray, he said that the
Space Syrup would remain untouched as a souvenir of the space shuttle Discovery.
Right now it's in a little vitrine by the cash register, complete with a Discovery patch. [L.J. Evans, 03/05/2002]
