Wednesday, November 19, 2025,
1 PM - 3 PM

Discover how Thanksgiving transcended time, place and culture to become the uniquely American holiday celebrated today. Try old-fashioned cooking, talk with costumed roleplayers and make a Victorian charity basket. In small groups guided by a museum educator, participants find the common themes of this holiday over four centuries: charity, gratitude and the celebration of family and community.

Designed for children ages 6-12. Those ages 6 to 8 years old must be accompanied by an adult. 9-12 year olds can participate without an accompanying adult.
