Thanksgiving Weekend

An experience for the whole family with 19th century Thanksgiving traditions, crafts, and foods! Join us for Thanksgiving at the Farm, Friday, Nov. 25 through Sunday, Nov. 27 from 10AM-4PM.

Peek into history with a Thanksgiving setting displaying food that graced the table in the 1890s. Enjoy the delicious aroma of food cooking in the 1890 Farm Manager’s House kitchen. Recipes from the past will include oyster soup, mashed turnips, roasted squash, salted almonds, bread rolls, and baked apples.

To delve deeper into the history, play “What’s for Dinner” and guess what was on the Thanksgiving menu in the 1890s at 12:00PM and 3:00PM. For a hands-on cooking experience, stop by the Learning Kitchen from 11:00AM to 3:00PM to make a mini apple pie to take home!

Share stories about your favorite traditions on the Sharing Tree. Craft a woven paper placemat with the kiddos and read “Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message” on the StoryWalk.

Warm up afterwards by the outdoor firepits with hot cocoa and s’mores, available for purchase.
