A Family Thanksgiving

Give thanks, share traditions, and learn together at A Family Thanksgiving on the farm.

Step back in time and explore a traditional Victorian-era Thanksgiving. This festive weekend is filled with history, hands-on activities, and seasonal fun for all ages. Visit the Historic Farmhouse to see, smell, and taste foods inspired by an 1890s Thanksgiving table, and roll up your sleeves in the Learning Kitchen to make and sample homemade pie crust.

Try your hand at a wool weaving craft and discover skills that helped farm families prepare for winter. Younger visitors won’t want to miss the sensory play stations designed just for them.

Warm up around the outdoor firepits with a cup of cocoa or hot spiced cider and enjoy locally made apple cider donuts available for purchase in the Museum Gift Shop.
