with friends from the town or surrounding farms in the mid
1800's at the end of Harvest to celebrate the season and the
bounty it provided? 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.
