Description: Costumed interpreters demonstrate hearthside cooking (including the use of a tin kitchen), give thanks at a Meetinghouse service, hold an after-dinner target shoot, and otherwise celebrate this important American holiday the way early 19th-century New Englanders did. Learn about period table manners (such as eating with the knife, not the fork) and communal customs, including the popularity of holding weddings while family and friends were gathered for this holiday occasion. For an extra fee, enjoy a Thanksgiving Feast (in the Bullard Tavern) or holiday buffet (in the Oliver Wight Tavern) of your own on Thursday or Friday. Call 508-347-0396 for reservations or information.
