## About

Immerse your family in early 17th-century history with Thanksgiving Day dining at Plimoth Patuxet Museums in Plymouth. Families enjoy a traditional New England turkey feast accompanied by museum educators and living history actors recounting the true story of the 1621 harvest meal shared by the Wampanoag people and English colonists. Dinners include roast turkey, home-style stuffing, fresh harvest cranberries, and traditional pumpkin pie.

Ticket holders gain admission to explore the historic outdoor museum grounds, including the 17th-Century English Village with costumed role-players, the Historic Patuxet Homesite, the craft center, and the nearby Mayflower II reproduction at Plymouth Harbor. Dress warmly in sturdy boots and layers for walking between outdoor timber-frame houses and indoor dining pavilions.
