HISTORIC THANKSGIVING

November 10, 2007 1:00PM – 4:00PM

Where did our modern Thanksgiving traditions come from? Learn about harvest festivals and how the foods of the Thanksgiving feast evolved over the centuries. The event features demonstrations of how an early 19th century meal was prepared -  from the farm to the table - including plucking and "dressing" the turkey. Traditional food and drink is prepared on the hearth, using historic recipes with lots of delicious samples to try. Take home a new recipe to include in your own Thanksgiving tradition. Visit a mini exhibit about the history of this important American holiday. Join us for an afternoon of good food, a warm fire, and a little bit of history.
