Home School Day - November 2
Home School Days offer you and your children the opportunity to visit the Village and participate in hands-on activities and participatory programs. This is a great opportunity for children to gain exposure to many aspects of 1830s New England life in an interactive way.
On this Home School Day, Thanksgiving Traditions, learn about the much-loved tradition of Thanksgiving and how things have changed over time. With the busy agricultural season coming to an end, New England citizens began preparing for the much-anticipated Thanksgiving celebration. This was a time of merriment, hearty eating, and giving thanks. In October 1621, the "first" Thanksgiving included two very culturally-diverse peoples and became a much-loved tradition that has changed over time. Learn about some of these changes, experience some of the culture, and compare then and "now"-- the 1830s!
