you often wondered what it may have been like to sit down
with friends from the town or surrounding farms in the mid
1800's at the end of Harvest to celebrate the season the the
bounty? The national holiday of Thanksgiving was set by
Abraham Lincoln in 1863, but celebrations of thanks were
common for many years before and even lobbied for by Mrs.
Sarah Joseph Hale as early as 1827.
Join us for an old fashioned family style Harvest (AKA
Thanksgiving Dinner) at the Pioneer Mother's Memorial Cabin
on November 20, 2010 from 2 pm to 5 pm.

the tunes of the mid 1800's.
