19th Century Thanksgiving Celebration
- Event:
- 19th Century Thanksgiving Celebration
- Start:
- January 1, 1970 12:00 am
The day begins with an authentic Thanksgiving Service at the Village Chapel, Christ Episcopal Church, where the Rite Reverend Thomas Tanser, Howell Works Company minister of 1836, will deliver his Harvest Sermon.
Visitors are then invited to wander the streets of the Historic Village and enjoy the autumn foliage as they make their way to the home of the Howell Works Company Manager, James Parshal Smith, where a traditional Thanksgiving Feast is being prepared over the open hearth. The delicious aroma of turkey, roasting in a tin reflector oven, fills the kitchen as period clad Historic Interpreters demonstrate the arts of 19th Century Cooking while preparing such Thanksgiving favorites as apple and pumpkin pies, vegetable dishes, and an varied array of side dishes.
While waiting for the turkey to brown, there will be hands-on demonstrations of cider-pressing and opportunities to join in some 19th Century games.
